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.

7.29 divided by 90 = <u>0.081</u>
Let the number of $1 bill be x and $5 bill be y
x=5y
5y+y=48
6y=48
x=40
y=8
number of $1 bill= 40
number of $5 bill = 8
Answer:
Area of shape B = 312.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of Area of A : Area of B = 12² : 15²
Given that area of A is 200 cm², let the area of shape B = x
Therefore:
200:x = 12²:15²
200/x = 144/225
Cross multiply
144x = 200*225
144x = 45,000
x = 45,000/144
x = 312.5 cm²
Area of shape B = 312.5 cm²
