Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Maggie's brother is 5 years younger than twice her age.
Sum of their ages=13
We have to find the age of old Maggie.
Let Maggie's age =x years
Maggie's brother age=2x-5
Sum of ages=13
[tex]x+2x-5=13[/tex]
[tex]3x=13+5[/tex]
[tex]3x=18[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{18}{3}=6[/tex]
Hence, Maggie's age=6 years
