64 is 4 times the difference between sarah’s age, a, and 44. Assume sarah is older than 44.

Answer 1

Let's use algebra to solve this problem.

Let Sarah's age be represented by the variable a.

We know that 64 is 4 times the difference between Sarah's age and 44.

This can be represented as:

64 = 4(a - 44)

Now, let's simplify the equation:

64 = 4a - 176

Add 176 to both sides:

240 = 4a

Divide by 4:

a = 60

Therefore, Sarah is 60 years old.
