30
33
36
39

Answer 1

Well it's 33. The 5 step problem thing I'm not to sure of.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 33 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N represent Nia's age in years.

We have been given that Nia is 3 years younger than Jordan. So Jordan's age would be 3 years more than Nia's age that is $N+3$ years.

We are told that Jordan is 36 years old.  We can represent this information in an equation as:

$N+3=36$

$N+3-3=36-3$

$N=33$

Therefore, Nia's age is 33 years.
