Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3
Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age
x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old
So Bea is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:
first take common then use formula of a^2-b^2
Answer:
y=-2 x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-x-4
y=x
you can plug y in for x in the first equation by using substitution
y=-y-4
and then you solve for y
2y=-4
y=-2
so y equals -2. Since y=x, x also equals -2. Therefore
y=-2 x=-2
