Answer:
B.3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
*Assuming that the question should read '8 years less than 3 times Danielle's age'*
Equation: 3a - 8 = 34, where 'a' = Danielle's age
Danielle's age (a) = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using key words and phrases from the problem, we can find Danielle's age by setting up an equation to solve for 'a'.
Since Danielle's aunt is '8 years less than 3 times Danielle's age' her aunt's age can be written as: 3a - 8. We also know her aunt is 34. So, the equation becomes:
3a - 8 = 34
Add 8 to both sides: 3a - 8 + 8 = 34 + 8 or 3a = 42
Divide both sides by 3: 3a/3 = 42/3
Solve for a: a = 14, so Danielle's age is 14 years old.
