Answer:
Therefore, Sara’s current age (5 years later) is 19 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let xx be Sara’s age five years ago. Therefore, Sara’s aunt’s age 5 years ago is 4x4x.
The difference in their ages is a constant, no matter how many years have gone by. (Can you see why?)
4x−x=42
3x=42
x=42/3
x=14
14+5=19
Therefore, Sara’s current age (5 years later) is 19 years old.
