The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).

3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>

Answer:

  4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the pounds of bananas Mrs. Davis bought. The weight of strawberries would be (7-b) and their cost would be 4×0.50 = 2.00 per pound. Her total purchase was ...

  6 = 1.50b . . . . . . add 1.50b -8

  4 = b . . . . . . . . divide by 1.50

Mrs. Davis bought 4 pounds of bananas.
