Kwame's uncle is seventeen less than three times Kwame's age. Which of the following equations represents Kwame's uncle's age (u) as it relates to Kwame's age (k)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine an equation representing Kwame's uncle's age (u) in relation to Kwame's age (k), we need to interpret the given information accurately. The statement 'Kwame's uncle is seventeen less than three times Kwame's age' can be translated as u = 3k - 17. Here, 'u' stands for Kwame's uncle's age, and 'k' stands for Kwame's age. Therefore, the correct equation is u = 3k - 17, making choice A the correct answer.
