Let's represent Ben's current age by x and his age in 16 years, x+16.If in 16 years, his age will be 3 times his age now, the equation is x+16=3x
x+16=3x
x-x+16=3x-x
16=2x
16/2=2x/2
8=x
Therefore Ben is 8 years old.
The answer is b because its makes sense
Strong and positive.

Answer: 12
Work the problem in reverse:
9 - (-6) = 15
15 x 4 = 60
60/5 = 12
To make sure it’s correct, start with the number 12:
12 x 5 = 60
60/4 = 15
15 + (-6) = 9
