Solution:

Given sentence: The difference of Matt's age and 17 is 61.

Let's reread the sentence carefully.

The difference of Matt's age and 17 is 61.

  • => Matt's age - 17 = 61
  • => m - 17 = 61

Let m represnt matt's age

  • Difference means their subtraction equals 61

[tex]m - 17 = 61[/tex]

If we solve it further for m ~

[tex]m = 61 + 17[/tex]

[tex]m = 78[/tex]
