Answer:

Samantha is 8 years and Maurice is 17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First represent Samantha's brother's age with a variable, x.

Secondly, find Samantha's age. since shes 9 years younger, then it will be her brother's age which is x minus 9

Thirdly, in ten years, they will all age hence 10 will be added to all their ages.

Fourthly, once 10 has been added to their after 10 years, rhen we realise Maurice age will be 1.5 timess Samantha's age... Then you solve the resulting equation.

So with this, you can rewrite the equation as: $(3x^2\times x^2)+(3x^2\times -3x)+(3x^2\times 2)+(-4x\times x^2)+(-4x\times -3x)+(-4x\times 2)+(5\times x^2)+(5\times -3x)+(5\times 2)$
