Let x=Maggie's age.

2x-3= brother's age

x+2x-3=24

3x-3=24

3x-3+3=24+3

3x=27

3x/3=27/3

x=9



hope it helps

Apply angle bisector theorem

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{9}{15}=\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{2x-1}{3x}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 9x=5(2x-1)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 9x=10x-5

\\ \sf\longmapsto 10x-9x=5

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=5

#2

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{4}{3}=\dfrac{x}{2.25}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 4(2.25)=3x

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3x=9

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=3

Hope it helps
