A. u=8-4k

B. k=4u-8

C. k=8-4u

D. u=4k-8

Answer Explanation:

We are asked to form an equation to find Joe’s uncle’s age to the age of Joe.

First, we find Joe’s age which is k. We know that Joe’s uncle’s age is four times that of Joe less 8. Then,

Joe’s uncle’s age, u = 4k-8.

Thus, the age of Joe’s uncle is u=4k-8.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is d.
