Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Betty is 5 more than 3 times Jadyn's age. Since Jadyn's age is unknown, we'll call that unknown variable x.

Betty is 5 more than 3 times x. Betty is also 41 years old.

Equation: 41 = 3x + 5

Now we have to solve for x

Solve for x:

  • 41 = 3x + 5
  • 36 = 3x
  • x = 12

Jadyn is 12 years old.
