    Answer: Maggie's is 8 years old.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the present age of Maggie be 'x' years

    Then, as per given, the present age of Maggie's brother will be 2x-3 years.

    According to the question : -

    Maggi's age + Brother's age = 24

    ⇒ x+2x-3 = 24

    ⇒ 3x = 24+3 [Adding 3 on both sides ]

    ⇒ x = 24:3 [Dividing by 3 on both sides ]

    ⇒ x = 8

    Hence, Maggie's is 8 years old.
