Paula is now four times the age of lynn lynn will be 16 in 10 years how old was paula four years ago show your work

Greetings!

"Paula is now four times the age of Lynn. Lynn will be 16 in 10 years. How old was Paula four years ago?"

If Lynn will turn sixteen in ten years, she must be 6 at the current moment:
16-10=6

Since Paula is 4 times the age of Lynn, Paula must be:
6(4)
=24

24-4
=20 

Paula was 20 years old, 4 years ago.

Hope this helps.

Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

A postulate in the context may may simply be called a mathematical claim or logic. Postulates such as described above about the intersection of distinct planes which results into a line has no mathematical proof to back or hold true of the statement. However, the fact that it isn't proven doesn't make it untrue. And this is the difference between postulates and theorems. Postulates cannot be proved or disproved best regarded as axioms. While theorems have mathematical proofs that backs its derivation.
