    60 years old

    Step-by-step explanation:

    64=4 (a-44)

    64=4a-176

    64+176=4a

    240=4a

    4a=240

    a=240/4

    a=60 years old

    64 = 4 * (a-44)

    Sarah is 60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    64 is 4 times the difference between Sarah's age, a, and 44.

    Is means equals and difference is subtraction

    64 = 4 * (a-44)

    Divide each side by 4

    64/4 = 4/4 (a-44)

    16 = a-44

    Add 44 to each side

    16+44 = a-44+44

    60 = a

    Sarah is 60
