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.

</span>In a court, the plaintiff is the individual or gathering who is blaming someone else or aggregate for some bad behavior. In case you're the offended party, you are guaranteeing that a law was broken, and you're in court to introduce your case. 
The plaintiff charges, the respondent tries to demonstrate that allegation off-base. You've seen this relationship on network shows about legal counselors, or possibly you've been to court yourself.
