Answer 1

Aidan's age is 6 years less than half of maggie's age. aidan's age is 4 years. what is maggie's age?

Answer is 20 years.

Answer 2

let
x----------> Aidan's age
y----------> Maggie's age

we know that
x=4
x=(y/2)-6
so
substitute
4=(y/2)-6----> multiply by 2-----> 8=y-12----> y=8+12-----> y=20

the answer is
Maggie's age is 20
