Answer:

Maggie is 13 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

1M + 1B = 62

rearrange to get:

1B = 62 - 1M

4M - 3 = 1B

substitute B with 62 - 1M so there is only one variable. this gives:

4M - 3 = 62 - 1M

Get all the variables on one side:

4M + 1M - 3 = 62

Get all non variables on the other side:

4M + 1M = 62 + 3

simplify:

5M = 65

Divide both sides by 5 to get the M by itself:

M = 13.

BONUS:

M + B = 62

B = 49

So her brother is 49 years old.

Maggie is 13 years old.

During a 20% off sale, the sale price of a bluetooth radio was $33.96. What was the regular price?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

20% of the regular price was off.

So 80% of the regular price stayed on.

$33.96 was that 80% of the regular price.

(0.8) · (regular price)  =  $33.96

Divide both sides by (0.8).

Regular price =  ($33.96) / (0.8)

<em>Regular price = $42.45</em>
