<h3>Answer: 15 years old</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

m = Maggie's age (some positive whole number)

4m = four times her age

4m-7 = seven years younger than 4m = brother's age

Add up her age (m) and her brother's age (4m-7) to get a sum of 68.

m+(4m-7) = 68

5m-7 = 68

5m = 68+7

5m = 75

m = 75/5

m = 15

Maggie is currently 15 years old.

Her brother is currently 4m-7 = 4*15-7 = 60-7 = 53 years old.

Their current year ages add to: 15+53 = 68 which confirms the answer.
