Answer:

Maggie's age is 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> Maggie's brother age

y ------> Maggie's age

we know that

x+y=43 ------ > equation A

x=3y-9 ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(3y-9)+y=43

4y=43+9

4y=52

y=13

therefore

Maggie's age is 13 years
