Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.

You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.

Answer:
B. 2x – 1 = 13 and x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 4 equations and a solution for each. We have to tell which of the given solution satisfies the given equation.
Option A.
2x -1 = 13 and x = 6
Using this value in the equation, we get:
2(6) -1 = 13
12 - 1 = 13
11 = 13, which is not true. Hence this option is not valid
Option B.
2x - 1 = 13 and x = 7
Using the value in the equation, we get:
2(7) - 1 =13
14 - 1 =13
13 = 13, which is true. Hence this option is valid.
Option C.
2x + 1 =13 and x = 7
Using the value in the equation, we get:
2(7) + 1 = 13
15 = 13, which is not true. So this option is not valid
Option D.
2x - 1 = 13 and x = 11
Using this value in the equation, we get:
2(11) - 1 = 13
21 = 13, which is not true. Hence this option is not valid.
