Answer:

The age of the grinkgo tree is 10 years old and the age of the dogwood tree is 4 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the age of the grinkgo tree

y -----> the age of the dogwood tree

z -----> the age of the blue spruce tree

we know that

x=3y-2 ------> equation A

z=8 ----> equation B

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+2z)

substitute the value of z

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+2(8))

x=\frac{1}{2}(y+16) -----> equation C

equate equation A and equation C and solve for y

3y-2=\frac{1}{2}(y+16)

6y-4=(y+16)

6y-y=16+4

5y=20

y=4

Find the value of x (equation A or equation C)

x=3(4)-2=10

therefore

The age of the grinkgo tree is 10 years old and the age of the dogwood tree is 4 years old
