Bot Let Maggie's age be x.
According to the problem, Aidan's age is 6 years less than half of Maggie's age, which can be expressed as:
Aidan's age = (1/2)x - 6
We are also given that Aidan's age is 4 years, so we can set the above expression equal to 4 and solve for x:
4 = (1/2)x - 6
Adding 6 to both sides:
10 = (1/2)x
Multiplying both sides by 2:
x = 20
Therefore, Maggie's age is 20 years.
