umm i know the anwser but i dnt know how give u a hint lol if that makes sense lol

anonymous · Answer

You just need to work it backwards through the problem.  If Seth's cousin's age is m, then you can take the key words "4 less" and "2 times" to tell you what operations to use.  2 times implies multiplication by two and 4 less implies a subtraction of 4.

The final equation should be: $$2m-4$$
