Let x be the Maggie's age and y be her brother's age.

Then you have two equations:

1. y = 2x -3, and

2. x + y = 24.

So, you need to solve the system of two linear equations in two unknowns

{ y=2x-3 and x+y= 24

Express y from the second equation y = 24 - x and substitute it into the first equation. You will get 24 - x = 2x - 3.

Simplify it step by step:

24 + 3 = 2x + x,

27 = 3x,

x = 27/3 = 9.

Answer: Maggie is 9 years old

Hope this helps!

  • Maggie: x
  • Maggie's brother: 2x - 3

Add them up to equal 24 in an equation.

(x) + (2x - 3) = 24

Combine like terms.

3x - 3 = 24

Add 3 to both sides.

3x = 27

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 9

  • Maggie is 9 years old.

A right come has a slant height of 6 and a radius of 4 what is the surface area?
likoan [24]
The SA formula to find a right cone is area of the base x 1/2 (perimeter)(slant height)

To find the area of the base you do radius squared x pi
Radius=11
So 121pi is area of the base

Perimeter=circumference of the circle
So perimeter=24pi

So 121pi x 1/2 (12pi)(6)
12 x 6=72pi/2=36pi

121pi x 36pi= 4356pi

Answer: 4356pi

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

First make x = 4 and y = 3 in the equation y = -1/2x + 5

it should look like 3 = -1/2(4) + 5 now we can solve

   -1/2 * 4 = -2         →      3 = -2 +5

       -2 + 5 = 3         →          3 = 3

The prism shown has a volume of 35 cm.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

1.25cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Complete question:</em>

The prism has a volume of 35 cm cubed  workout h, the height of the triangular cross section

<em>length=7cm</em>

<em>width = 4cm</em>

<em></em>

The volume of the prism is expressed as;

Volume = Base Area * Height

Given

Volume of the prism = 35cm^3

Base Area = length * width

Base Area =  7cm * 4cm

Base Area = 28cm^2

Substitute the given values into the formula

35 = 28* Height

Cross multiply

35 = 28 * Height

35 = 28 Height

Height = 35/28

Height = 1.25cm

Hence the height of the triangular cross section is 1.25cm
