Answer 2

Adien is 6 years less then half of maggies age, 6-4, then add 10= 20!

Answer 3

Here, let me give you a better explanation then WRONG, we can set up an equation like so: m/2 - 6 = a. (m will represent Maggie's age, and a will represent Aidan's age) First we can substitute 'a' for 4, (since we know Aidan's age) m/2 - 6 = 4. Then we can add 6 from both sides (addition property of equality) m/2 = 10. Lastly we can multiply both sides by 2 (multiplication property of equality) m = 20. So, since m represents Maggie's age, we know that Maggie is 20 years old

Answer 4

Hope this helps with any future problems as well :)

To find Maggie's age, we can use the information given in the question.

Let's break it down step by step:
1. The question states that Aidan's age is 6 years less than half of Maggie's age. So, we can write this expression: Aidan's age = 0.5 * Maggie's age - 6.

2. The question also states that Aidan's age is 4 years. So, we can substitute Aidan's age with 4 in our equation: 4 = 0.5 * Maggie's age - 6.

3. Now, let's solve the equation to find Maggie's age. We'll start by isolating the term with Maggie's age.

Add 6 to both sides of the equation: 4 + 6 = 0.5 * Maggie's age - 6 + 6
Simplifying this gives us: 10 = 0.5 * Maggie's age

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.5 to solve for Maggie's age:
10 / 0.5 = (0.5 * Maggie's age) / 0.5
Simplifying this gives us: 20 = Maggie's age

Therefore, Maggie's age is 20 years.
