Answer:
9 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let maggie's age be m,
and let maggie's brother's age be b
b = 2m - 5,
m + b = 22
Substitute "2m - 5" for b in the second equation (substitution)
m + (2m - 5) = 22 -> Remove parenthesis
m + 2m - 5 = 22 -> Combine like terms
3m = 22 + 5 = 27 -> Divide either side by 3
m = 27/3 = 9
