Question

Sarah Thompson is 12 years old. Her mother is 5 years less than four times as old as Sophia. How old is mrs. Thompson? I know the answer is 43 but how? I will mark the first good answer as brainliest.

Answer 1

Mrs. T = (4 *12) - 5 = 43

4 times Sophia's age, she's 12, is 48, and 5 years less than that is 43.

Answer 2

12 × 4 = 48 - 5 = 43
