Answer 1

Answer:

$M=\dfrac{(p-44)}{4}\ \text{years}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Peggy is p years old.

​Maggie is 11 year less than 1/4 of Peggy's age.

It means,

Maggie's age,

$M=\dfrac{1}{4}\times p-11\\\\M=\dfrac{p}{4}-11\\\\M=\dfrac{(p-44)}{4}$

So, Maggie's age is $\dfrac{(p-44)}{4}$ years.
