Problema Solution

five years ago, sara's age was half of the age she will be in 8 years. How old is she know?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let her age be x.

Five years ago, she was x-5 years old.

"five years ago, sara's age was half of the age she will be in 8 years"

means x - 5 = (1/2)(x-5 + 8)

So 2(x-5 ) = (x +3)

2x - 10 = x + 3

So x = 13

Answer 13
