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

Angie and Becky each completed a separate proof to show that the measures of vertical angles AKG and HKB are equal. Who complete
Helga [31]

Answer:

Becky, because her justification for the second statement should be "definition of supplementary angles" rather than "angle addition postulate."

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky completed the proof incorrectly because her justification for the second statement is not totally correct.

Angle addition postulate does not really apply here, as the sum of 2 angles may not give you exactly 180°.

However, the second statement, m<AKG + m<GKB = 180° and m<GKB + m<HKB = 180°, can be justified by the "Definition of Supplementary Angles".

The sum of supplementary angles = 180°.

Therefore, Becky completed the proof incorrectly.
