Answer:
Maggie is 13 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
1M + 1B = 62
rearrange to get:
1B = 62 - 1M
4M - 3 = 1B
substitute B with 62 - 1M so there is only one variable. this gives:
4M - 3 = 62 - 1M
Get all the variables on one side:
4M + 1M - 3 = 62
Get all non variables on the other side:
4M + 1M = 62 + 3
simplify:
5M = 65
Divide both sides by 5 to get the M by itself:
M = 13.
BONUS:
M + B = 62
B = 49
So her brother is 49 years old.

Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of distances from the intersection of secants to the near and far intersections with the circle are the same. For a tangent, the near and far points of intersection with the circle are the same. This relation tells us ...
(2√3)(2√3) = x(x +4)
12 = x² +4x
16 = x² +4x +4 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square
4² = (x +2)² . . . . . . . . write as squares
4 = x +2 . . . . . . . . . . positive square root
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
If you believe x to be an integer, you can look for factors of 12 that differ by 4.
12 = 1×12 = 2×6 = 3×4
The factors 2 and 6 differ by 4, so x=2 and x+4=6.
