Question

What strategy would be the best to solve this problem?

Deena wanted to know the age of her math teacher. Her teacher said that
if she added 28 years to her age and then doubled it, she would be 120
years old. How old was the teacher?
A) make a table, chart or list
B) use a formula
OC) work backwards
D) look for a pattern

Answer 1

I’d work backwards

First,

120 divided by 2 = 60

60-28= 32

Your teacher is 32 years old
