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

Find x and y ! <br><br> pls help giving 50 points !!
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

y = 20°

x = 35°

Explanation:

Equation's:

   1) 2y + x + 105° = 180°

   2) 3x + x + 2y = 180°

Make y subject in equation 2

3x + x + 2y = 180

4x + 2y = 180

2y = 180 - 4x

y = 90 - 2x

Insert this into equation 1

2(90 - 2x) + x + 105° = 180°

180 - 4x + x + 105 = 180

-3x = -105

x = 35°

Find value of y

y = 90 - 2x

y = 90 - 2(35)

y = 20°
