We can set Maggie's age to x

If her brother is six years younger than four times her age, than her brother must be equal to: 4x-6

Since the sum of their ages is 39, we can set up an equation.

(Sum of Maggie's age) + (sum of Maggie's brother's age) = 39

x + (4x -6) = 39

5x -6 = 39

5x = 45

x = 9 , Maggie's age is 9

anzhelika [568]
Greater than means it can only be greater than the value give for example x is greater than 10, x can only be a number greater than 10. Greater than or equal to is similar because the answer can be greater than the value given or equal to it. For example x is greater than 10, x could be equal to 10 or any value greater than it.

If 21 is added to a number the result is 40 less than twice the number what is the number?
Karolina [17]
If 21 is added to (+ 21) a number (x) the result (=) is 40 less than (- 40) twice the number (2x)

x + 21 = 2x - 40   Add 40 to both sides
x + 61 = 2x           Subtract x from both sides
      61 = x             Switch the sides to make it easier to read
       x = 61
