Hope this helps :)
Adien is 6 years less then half of maggies age, 6-4, then add 10= 20!
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
Hope this helps with any future problems as well :)
