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.

Lilit [14]

People who score high on the need for achievement prefer tasks with a <u>moderate</u> level of difficulty.

An achievement is a great accomplishment—something achieved with great effort or skill. Achieve and achievement often implies the completion of something. Achievement is another word for accomplishment. My greatest achievement to date is the time I won the annual hay-stacking contest at the county fair.

The definition of achievement is something that is accomplished, particularly by great effort, courage or special skills. Moving quickly up the ladder at a prestigious company is an example of achievement.

blsea [12.9K]

This means Hardin is a<u> "Neo-Malthusian".</u>


Neo-Malthusianism is the backing of populace control programs, to guarantee assets for present and future populations. In Britain the term Malthusian can likewise allude all the more particularly to contentions made for preventive anti-conception medication, thus associations, for example, the Malthusian League. Neo-Malthusians contrast from Malthus' hypotheses predominantly in their excitement for contraception. Malthus, a sincere Christian, trusted that "poise" (restraint) was desirable over counterfeit contraception. In a few versions of his paper, Malthus allowed that restraint was probably not going to be powerful on a wide scale, in this way upholding the utilization of counterfeit methods for conception prevention as an answer for populace "pressure". Modern "neo-Malthusians" are for the most part more worried than Malthus was, with ecological debasement and calamitous starvation than with destitution.
