Hey there!

Let's write this as a system of equations.

m+b=31

b= 2m-11

Let's plug our value for b into the first equation and solve for m.

m+2m-11=31

Let's combine like terms.

3m-11=31

We add 11 to both sides.

3m=42

We divide both sides by 3.

m=14

Therefore, Maggie is <u>14 years old.</u>

I hope this helps!

Identify the double displacement reaction.
Anit [1.1K]
A double replacement reaction occurs when the ionic parts of two ionic compounds are exchanged. 

Reaction 1 results in a product which is a single compound. No ionic parts are exchanged. 

Reaction 3 results in one compound being separated into its elemental parts. No ionic parts are exchanged. 

Reaction 4 has two reactants, but Pb is an element and not an ionic compound. No ionic parts are exchanged. 

Hence, the answer is Reaction 2. Both NaBr and Ca(OH)2 are ionic compounds. Br - is the anion in NaBr, and (OH)2 is also an anion. Ionic parts are exchanged.
