Hi! Tricky question you've got there!

So far, we know that Mary is 16 and her brother is 4 (16 is 4 times as old as 4).

16 + x = 2(4 + x)

16 + x = 8 + 2x

x = 8

Now, this isn't finished yet.


(4 + 8) = 12

12 twice is 24, so Mary will be 24 years old.

What does government shut down mean in the United States of America? Thank you for the help.
taurus [48]

The shutdown of the United States government ultimately means that important government work is either not being done, done with resentment, or done by people that are not being paid.

While there are those that think the United States government is too large, a shuddering of the Government ultimately means food that is less safer, environment that is more polluted, and a population that is more in danger.

What best explains the differences between the central europan and continental climates
strojnjashka [21]
The difference is mostly in the amount of humidity. Continental climates usually have cool summers and cold winters and don't have high humidity. Central European is like continental climate except it has humidity because of the way air drifts work. They are similar but the temperature is usually higher.
