Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...
Anyway, let

and

. Then we want to find the exact value of

.
Use the angle difference identity:

and right away we find

. By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find

. (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)
Meanwhile, if

, then (by Pythagorean theorem)

, so

. And from this,

.
So,
Step-by-step explanation:
please complete your question
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>
Your answer is going to be odd
