Kevin said that if you triple his age the result will be 1 less than his mother age


Which if any of these equations shows the relationship between Kevin's age x and his mothers age y? Choose all the correct


1.) 3x-y=1


2.) y-3x=1


3.) 3x+1=y


4.) 3x= 1-y


Btw the (-) <-- subtract

Verified Answer :

Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1. 

Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.
