Mary is n years old. How old will she be in 9 years? How old was she 5 years ago?

Question

In 9 years, she will be ___ years old.
5 years ago, she was ___ years old.

Can anyone tell me how to solve it? That way I know what you did and I can work it out myself.

Answer 1

As stated, here's your answers

In 9 years, she will be n + 9 years old.
5 years ago, she was n - 5 years old

Have a great day!

Answer 2

You cannot answer this question in terms of actualy numbers.
it would be more like this:

n+9 = x
n - 5 = y

where n is mary, 9 and 5 are how many years added or taken away x and y are her age at the respective time.

You need more information to get an exact number. But you do know that she is at least 5 years old.

Answer 3

There's not enough information given to solve this problem. Something is missing. However, n + 9 = and n - 5 = are a start.

Answer 4

You really don't have enough information to assess any firm ages. The best you can say is that, if she's currently "n" years old, in nine years she'll be "n+9" years old; and five years ago she was "n-5" years old.

Answer 5

in 9 years she wil be n+9.
and in 5 years n-5

Answer 6

In a public school you will need a teacher certification - which will require a BA and student teaching. During student teaching you will receive no income for 16 weeks unless you work nights (VERY difficult during student teaching). States offer different options for the certification. Some offer Early Childhood Ed which is birth through age 8 (third grade) that would let you teach K, but some only offer Elementary (K-6). Both are different than the degree in Child & Family Development that many schools offer. While it also trains you to work with young children, it does NOT certify you to teach above preschool.

Another option is to find out if any of your local public schools offer a preschool program on-site. Its a growing trend and many schools are piloting preschool programs. Not sure if they would require you to be degreed or certified, but you get the same benefits as a public school teacher and would most likely earn quite a bit more than you do now.

I would suggest contacting a school and asking to "shadow" a K teacher for a day to see what a typical work day is like. Mention to them that you work in early childhood ed as a preschool teacher and are considering pursuing teacher certification. I assume that you are required by your preschool to have a criminal background check and TB test on file. You might mention this to them as their volunteers & employees must have these.

Also, some larger preschools offer tuition reimbursement for teachers intending to become degreed or certified. If yours does not, there are also several scholarships from ECE professional organizations at the state and national level that might help you with the financial aspect of continued schooling. Best of luck!

Answer 7

You need more information, such as an age to compair to or the such.

otherwise you could just choose a random age, and then add nine years and subtract five years to fill in blanks.

What does that teaching certification thing have to do with this question?

Answer 8

If n=6
Then, n-5=1
And, n+9=15

If n=5, then she was born 5 years ago.

Answer 9

n+9
n-5
is really the only answer we need more data to extrapolate that question.

Answer 10
