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)
