To solve this problem, we must set up a system of equations. In this case, let's let Maggie's age be represented by the variable m and her brother's age be represented by the variable b. We are told that the sum of their ages is 24, which gives us our first equation: m + b = 24. We can construct our next equation from the first sentence of given information: b = 2m - 3. This makes our system of equations:
m + b = 24
b = 2m - 3
To solve, we are going to substitute the value for b in terms of m given by the second equation into the first equation for the variable b.
m + b = 24
m + 2m - 3 = 24
To simplify, we must first combine the variable terms on the left side of the equation using addition.
3m - 3 = 24
Next, we should add 3 to both sides of the equation to get the variable term alone on the left side of the equation.
3m = 27
Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 in order to get the variable m alone.
m = 9
Therefore, Maggie is 9 years old (using the first equation and substituting in this value you can find that her brother is 15 years old).
Hope this helps!
So this is read as 23 degrees, 20 minutes, and 48 seconds. Each degree has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds, somewhat like time. You must start from right to left for this to work. This may seem complicated but the way to find this is as follows:
23+(20+(48/60))/60. A simpler way to see this is by first taking 48/60 which is .8. Now you take 20+.8 which is 20.8 and you divide it by 60 once more. This comes out to be approximately .35. Now you have converted the seconds and minutes to degrees so you add 23+.35 which is 23.35. Therefore your answer is 23.35 degrees.
