  5. What makes a problem important ? Abstraction of problems arising from important applications. When asked how old she was, Suzie replied, ” In 2 years I will be twice as old as I was 5 years ago.”How old is she? K. Ghorbal (INRIA) 3 SIF M2 3 / 15

  6. What makes a problem important ? Abstraction of problems arising from important applications. When asked how old she was, Suzie replied, ” In 2 years I will x + 2 = 2( x − 5) be twice as old as I was 5 years → x = 12 ago.”How old is she? K. Ghorbal (INRIA) 3 SIF M2 3 / 15
