Maggie's brother is 4 years younger than her age the sum of their ages is 48 how old is maggie

48-4=44
Maggie is 44 years old because you subtract Maggie's brother's age by their ages combined.

Maggie's age = x
Brother age = x - 4

The sum of their age = x + (x-4) = 48
Solve for x
x + (x-4) = 48
2x -4 = 48
2x -4 + 4 = 48 +4
2x = 52
2x/2 = 52/2
x = 26
Maggie is 26

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
