Question

6464 is 444 times the difference between Sarah's age, aaa, and 444444. Assume Sarah is older than 444444. Write an equation to determine Sarah's age (a)(a)(, a, ).

Answer 1

Sarah is 60. Equation is same as theirs.

Explanation:

Fallow how they did it

Answer 2

Sarah's age is 60 years

Explanation:

The correct question is:

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

Let

a ----> Sarah's age

we know that

The difference of Sarah's age and 44, all multiplied by 4 is equal to 64

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

`4(a-44)=64`

Solve for a

Apply distributive property left side

`4a-176=64`

Adds 176 both sides

`4a=64+176\\4a=240`

Divide by 4 both sides

`a=60`

therefore

Sarah's age is 60 years
