Question

Lisa’s age is 4 years older than three times sammy’s Age. Lisa is 28 years old let s represent sammy’s Age

Answer 1

Answer:

Sammy's age is 8 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent Sammy’s age.

We have been given that Lisa’s age is 4 years older than three times Sammy’s age.

Three times Sammy’s age would be $3s$.

4 years older than three times Sammy’s age would be $3s+4$.

We are also told that Lisa is 28 years old. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$3s+4=28$

$3s+4-4=28-4$

$3s=24$

$\frac{3s}{3}=\frac{24}{3}$

$s=8$

Therefore, Sammy's age would be 8 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sammy is 8 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3s + 4 = 28 is the equation you need to use you have to get s on its own to find Sammy's age

3s + 4 = 28    subtract 4 from both sides

3s = 24      divide both sides by 3

s = 8      Sammy is 8 years old
