The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
Answer:
c = a - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
a = b + 12 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
a - 12 = b
Substitute b = a - 12 into b = c + 4
a - 12 = c + 4 ( add 12 to both sides )
a = c + 16 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
c = a - 16
