Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Suri's age=17 years

Her cousin's age =c

Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age

4 less than 3 times her cousin's age means subtract 4 from 3 times her cousin's age

17=3c - 4

Find c which is her cousin's age

Add 4 to both sides

17+4=3c - 4 + 4

17+4=3c

21=3c

Divide both sides by 3

21/3=3c/3

7=c

Therefore,

C= 7

Her cousin's age = 7 years
