Respuesta :

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

___
Sarah is 60.

Answer:

Sarah's age is 60.

Step-by-step 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

[tex]a - 44 = \frac{64}{4}[/tex]

[tex]a - 44 = 16[/tex]

[tex]a = 44 + 16[/tex]

[tex]a = 60[/tex].

Sarah's age is 60.
