the assumption being that the first machine is the one on the left-hand-side and the second is the one on the right-hand-side.
the input goes to the 1st machine and the output of that goes to the 2nd machine.
a)
if she uses and input of 6 on the 2nd one, the result will be 6² - 6 = 30, if we feed that to the 1st one the result will be √( 30 - 5) = √25 = 5, so, simply having the machines swap places will work to get a final output of 5.
b)
clearly we can never get an output of -5 from a square root, however we can from the quadratic one, the 2nd machine/equation.
let's check something, we need a -5 on the 2nd, so

so if we use a "1" as the output on the first machine, we should be able to find out what input we need, let's do that.

so if we use an input of 6 on the first machine, we should be able to get a -5 as final output from the 2nd machine.

<h3>Answer:</h3>
13 years old
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Let g and m represent grandfather's age now and my age now. The relation 5 years ago was ...
... g -5 = 5(m -5)
The relation in 3 years will be ...
... g +3 = 3(m +3)
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
... 8 = -2m +34
... 2m = 26 . . . . . add 2m-8
... m = 13
My age now is 13.
Answer:
The spinner is 4 times more likely to land on black.
There were 72 black spins compared to 18 white spins. This means there were 4 times more black spins than white spins; this means the spinner is not equally likely to land on either co
