Question 88769
Given:
.
At the age of 100, Doris will be 8 less than 4 times her wedding-day age.
.
In other words, 4 times her wedding-day age take away 8 should equal 100. If her wedding-day
age is represented by W, then in equation form:
.
4W - 8 = 100
.
Add 8 to both sides to get rid of the 8 on the left side and you have:
.
4W = 108
.
Solve for W, her wedding-day age, by dividing both sides by 4 which is the multiplier
of W. When you do that division you get:
.
W = 108/4 = 27 
.
Doris was 27 when she got married. 
.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem. Lots of time the wording of problems
such as these is just a little difficult to understand. Once you get the idea of the 
relationship, the math is pretty standard.  All it takes is a little practice.
