Sarah asked her Grandma to tell her how old she was.
She replied "If you multiply my age by 3 then subract 100 you get the same answer as if you took my age and added 34". Hold old is her Grandma?
:
let a = age of grandma
3a - 100 = a + 34
subtract a from both sides
3a - a = 34 + 100
2a = 134
a = 134/2
a = 67 yrs
