Question

64 is 4 times the difference between Sarah's age a and 44 assume Sarah is older than 44 write an equation to determine Sarah's age a

Answer 1

Sarah's age is 60.

Explanation:

We have that Sarah's age is a.

The problem states that 64 is 4 times the difference between Sarah's age a and 44.

So

`a - 44 = (64)/(4)`

`a - 44 = 16`

`a = 44 + 16`

`a = 60`.

Sarah's age is 60.

Answer 2

Let s represent Sarah's age.
.. 64 = 4(s -44)

___
Sarah is 60.
