Let M be the age of Maggie and B the age of her younger Brother:

Rewrite the problem from English language to Math's:
 B = 2.M - 10 (1)
and  M + B = 29 (Given) OR    B  =  29 -M (2)
Plug 2) into 1):

29 -M = 2.M -10
 29 + 10 = 3 M →→3M = 39 and M = 39/3 = 13
Replace M by 13 and you will find B =6

Then Maggie = 13 year old and her brother B = 6 year old

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to the line x - 3y = 9 and passing through the point (3,5).
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Here is a sample problem
has to be perpendicular to y=(4/9)*x-2 and pass through 4,3,


y-b=m(x-a)
slope of -9/4 is perpendicular to slope of 4/9, as y=4/9x-2 has slope 4/9. Our point is (4,3) therefore.
y-3=-9/4*(x-4)
y-3=-9/4x+9
y=-9/4x+9+3
y=-9/4x+12
