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.

Answer:
B. (2/3) x (2/3) x (2/3)
C. 8/27
D. 2^3 /3^3
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to know the following property

Exponent also means you're multiplying the same number for an 'n' number of times.
For example, 2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2
we multiply it by itself 3 times since 3 is the exponent.
x^y
x is the base, y is the exponent
we read it as x to the power of y
If the exponent is 2, we say it as x squared
If the exponent is 3, we say it as x cubed
