Question

Maggie’s brother is 12 years younger that three times her age . The sun of their ages is 44 . How old is Maggie

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is right but you can set up an equation and solve to find Maggie's age:

Maggie's brother's age = b
Maggie's age = m

b = 12 - 3m
44 = 12-3m
12-3m = 44
-12 -12
-3m = 32
÷ 3 ÷3
m = 10.67

So this would be Maggie's age

I hope this helped :)
