Answer:

She is 40 years of age

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Joaquin age be j

Let Marjorie age be m

From the first part of the question;

j = 4 + m/2

Secondly;

m =3j - 32

Multiply equation i through by 2

2j = 8 + m

m = 2j-8

Equate both m

2j-8 = 3j-32

3j-2j = 32 -8

j = 24

m = 2j-8

m = 2(24)-8

m = 48-8

m = 40
