If sarah is 24 years younger than her mother and if the sum of their age is 68 how old is sarah

The sum of two numbers if just the numbers added together, so you would just need to do some simple algebra.

The ages added together are 68, and the opposite of addition is subtraction!

(total age) - (sarahs age) = (mothers age)
68 - 24 = 44

44 should be her mothers age!

(If you were trying to calculate the sum of their ages, you would just add them together, and 24 + 44 = 68)

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
