    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x = Maggie's age

    2x - 4 = Maggie brother age

    x + (2x-4) = 14

    Add 4 to each side

    x+2x = 18

    Combine like terms

    3x=18

    Division property of equality

    x=6

    Input 6 as x in the equation

    2 (6) - 4 = 12-4=8

    Maggie's brother is 8 years old and Maggie is 6 years old
