Q. When Bella was 1212 years old, she got her pet cat, Mister McScruff. That was 99 years ago.\newlineLet bb represent Bella's age now. Which equation models the problem?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) b−9=12b - 9 = 12\newline(B) b+9=12b + 9 = 12\newlineSolve this equation to find Bella's age now.\newline____ years old\newline
  1. Understand the problem: Step 11: Understand the problem. Bella was 1212 years old 99 years ago. We need to find her current age using the variable bb.
  2. Set up the equation: Step 22: Set up the equation based on the problem. Since Bella was 1212 years old 99 years ago, we add 99 to 1212 to find her current age. The correct equation is b−9=12b - 9 = 12.
  3. Solve the equation: Step 33: Solve the equation. Add 99 to both sides of the equation to isolate bb.\newlineb−9+9=12+9b - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9\newlineb=21b = 21
