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.

The graph will show an initial value that is lower on the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function has the next general form:

y = ab^x

where <em>a</em> is the initial amount and <em>b</em> is the base.

If the <em>a</em> value in the function is decreased, but remains greater than 0, the y-intercept of the curve decrease.

Factoring expressions: 17x-34xy
Katarina [22]

17x(1-2y)

17x-34xy

because both expressions have a x, it would be easier to factor out the x first. but because 17 is a factor of 34 you can simply divide 34 by 17 and get 2. so you put it together to this,

17x(1-2y)

Because, 17x times 1 is 17x but 17x times -2y would be -32xy.
