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.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation through (4, 2) perpendicular to LaTeX: y=4x-4
marin [14]

Answer:

y=4x-4

slope of the line=-4/-1

                             4/1

since perpendicular,

    m1.m2=-1

    4.m2=-1

    m2=-1/4

The equation of line passing through the point (4,2)is

  y-y1=m2(x-x1)

  y-2=-1/4(x-4)
