To find the slope, we must put the equation in y = mx + b form, and m represents ur slope.

7x - 2y = 4....subtract 7x from both sides
-2y = -7x + 4 ...now divide both sides by -2
y = (-7/-2)x + (4/-2)
y = 7/2x - 2....now we have it in y = mx + b form, and since m is ur slope, ur slope in this equation is 7/2.

Maggie's brother is 3 years younger than twice her age. The sum of their ages is 36. How old is Maggie? Maggie is years old.

Triss [41]

Answer:

Maggie is 13 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maggie's age is: x

Maggie's brother's age is: 2x - 3

The sum of the ages = 36

x + 2x - 3 = 36

3x - 3 = 36

3x = 39

x = 13
