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.
