Question 1121579: Mary�s age is at least five more than twice her brothers age. Is it possible for Mary to be 7? If Mary�s brother is 10 years old, how old is Mary?
I need to be able to model this scenario with an inequality and a visual representation of possible options. (Like graph it.)
This is a part of my summer homework and this is one of the few problems that I have left and I�m stuck.
I thought I could maybe use M (for Mary) and b (for Mary�s brother) in this equation to find out Mary�s age first off: M=2b+5
Besides that I�m stuck, I�ve gone to every possible website, but no other Algebra 2 word problems are similar to mine.
It would be amazing if you could help, if not hopefully I can figure it out XD. Thank you for reading this!

Question 1121611: Maria is 36 Years old. Maria is twice as old Ana was when Maria was as old as Ana is now. How old is Ana now?
Solution base on my professor's
(make a data) Past and Present = given
Maria: 2x and 36 = -2x +36
Anna: x and 2x = -x + 2x
(We introduce a variable to the missing answer)
SOLVE:
-2x + 36 = -x + 2x *Combine like terms
-2x +36 = x *Transpose
36 = x +2x
36 = 3x
12 = x Therefore, the answer is, x=12
.
.
However, that if we are also searching for the future age? so the main question will be:
Maria is 36 Years old. Maria is twice as old Ana was when Maria was as old as Ana is now. How old is Ana now? how old both of them in the future?
solving the problem will be only in one equation instead of continuing the given problem/solution base on first problem.
