Question

Leon's age can be described as 1 less than 4 times his cousin’s age. If his cousin’s age is represented by the variable "m", write the algebraic expression representing Leon's age using "m".

Answer 1

Okay...so cousins age = m

Leons age..is 1 less...than 4 times what his cousins age is

cousins age = m

4 times that = 4m

1 less than that = 4m - 1

So

Leon = 4m - 1
