    The answer is 14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1 Write out an expression

    So since Shelby is 7 times Bonnie, Bonnie is x years old that time. So the expression is S=7x

    Step 2 Plug in

    Now Shelby is 98 so all u have to do is now plug in what you have in the expression.

    98=7x

    Step 3 solve

    98=7x

    divide 7 on both sides and you get:

    14=x

    so Bonnie is currently 14
