Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
|-6| = 6
I'm assuming the second equation is y=x^2-3 making it a parabola. If you graph both of the equations they intercept at both (-1,-2) and (3,6). So the y coordinates of those would be -2, and 6. I hope that's the answer you're looking for.
There's a bit of lack of context but I think the question is just asking what variables to put in for Lucy and Howard. There seems to be no need to answer any math problem.
I suggest using the variables x and y or l for Lucy and h for Howard. Remember to use lowercase letters.

- Factor the expression by using common factor.
We csn pull out 3x² out of the expression.

We simply pull out the x-term with lowest degree and 3 out of the expression. If another expression cannot be factored after first factoring then that's the final answer.
- The expression can still be factored. Factor the expression by using two brackets.
