The initial value of this function is the y-intercept. We know that the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by:

Writing our equation in slope intercept form:

So the initial value is:

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>
If you were to factor you would do what my teacher likes to call reverse foil so it would look like this (x-9)(x+4) so what you do is you brainsrorm to see what multiplies what to get that and 9*4=36 so that is how you factor -36 to find the -9
Hope this helps if I'm correct if not I will try to find the answer
C your welcome tell me if u need more help
