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>
Are we supposed to find the area? If so, It's 36 because 6 times 6 equals 36 :p Hope I helped.
Answer:
The answer isn't in the options anyway I'll write it. the answer is 46.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to BODMAS rule - addition should be done first so
4+36= 40 and -3 +7 = 4 so 40+4 ,= 44
then we should do subtracting so, 10-8 = 2
to conclude we should bring the equation to an end so,
44+2 = 46
