To solve this problem, we must set up a system of equations. In this case, let's let Maggie's age be represented by the variable m and her brother's age be represented by the variable b. We are told that the sum of their ages is 24, which gives us our first equation: m + b = 24. We can construct our next equation from the first sentence of given information: b = 2m - 3. This makes our system of equations:
m + b = 24
b = 2m - 3
To solve, we are going to substitute the value for b in terms of m given by the second equation into the first equation for the variable b.
m + b = 24
m + 2m - 3 = 24
To simplify, we must first combine the variable terms on the left side of the equation using addition.
3m - 3 = 24
Next, we should add 3 to both sides of the equation to get the variable term alone on the left side of the equation.
3m = 27
Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 in order to get the variable m alone.
m = 9
Therefore, Maggie is 9 years old (using the first equation and substituting in this value you can find that her brother is 15 years old).
Hope this helps!
Answer:
the normal distribution is a symmetric distribution with no skew. ... A left-skewed distribution has a long left tail. Left-skewed distributions are also called negatively-skewed distributions. That's because there is a long tail in the negative direction on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:
To make this a bit easier to see, we'll expand that expression.
R to the 9th is just r times itself 9 times. R to the third is r times itself 3 times.
(excuse my bad formatting)
<u>The expression:</u>
<u>r • r • r • r • r • r • r • r • r • 1</u>
r • r • r • 1
Remember, anything and everything has a coefficient or denominator of 1.
So, we can cancel 3 r's from the numerator and denominator.
<u>r • r • r • r • r • r • 1</u>
1
Simplify....
That just equals .
