<span>mathematics, a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement. In the argument, other previously established statements, such as theorems, can be used. In principle, a proof can be traced back to self-evident or assumed statements, known as axioms.(2)(3)(4) Proofs are examples of deductive reasoning and are distinguished from inductive or empirical arguments; a proof must demonstrate that a statement is always true (occasionally by listing all possible cases and showing that it holds in each), rather than enumerate many confirmatory cases. An unproven statement that is believed true is known as a conjecture.
 
Proofs employ logic but usually include some amount of natural language which usually admits some ambiguity. In fact, the vast majority of proofs in written mathematics can be considered as applications of rigorous informal logic. Purely formal proofs, written in symbolic language instead of natural language, are considered in proof theory. The distinction between formal and informal proofs has led to much examination of current and historical mathematical practice, quasi-empiricism in mathematics, and so-called folk mathematics (in both senses of that term). The philosophy of mathematics is concerned with the role of language and logic in proofs, and mathematics as a language</span>

Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago
KIM [24]

The expression of the mathematical statement given as "Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago" is x = 4 * (x - 15)

<h3>How to rewrite the statement as an expression?</h3>

The mathematical statement is given as

Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago

From the statement, we have:

x represent Juan's current age

This means that his age 15 years ago is

15 years ago = x - 15

4 times his age 15 years ago is

4 * 15 years ago = 4 * (x - 15)

The above equation is equivalent to his current age

So, we have

x = 4 * (x - 15)

Hence, the expression of the mathematical statement given as "Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago" is x = 4 * (x - 15)
