Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maggies age is, for example, x, we can say that her brothers age is 4x-6. We know from the problem that Maggies age (x) plus her bothers age, (4x-6) is 69. So,

4x-6+x=69

5x-6=69

5x=75

x=15

So, Maggie is 15.

Answer: Maggie is 15 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

69 = (4m - 6) + m     --- get an equation

69 - m = 4m - 6        --- lets subtract  m from both sides first

75 - m = 4m              --- add 6 on both sides

75 = 5m                    --- add m on both sides

15 = m                       --- divide by 5 on both sides

m = 15, so Maggie is 15 years old

Let's check:

69 = (4(15)-6) +15

69 = (60 - 6) + 15

69 = 54 + 15

69 = 69
