8 0

Stacy's present age = x

Laura's present age = 8 + x

Laura's age next year = (8 + x) + 1

Also, Laura's age next year = 3x

Therefore,

3x = (8 + x) + 1

3x = 9 + x

3x - x = 9

2x = 9

x = 9/2

x = 4.5

Laura's present age = 8 + x = 8 + 4.5 = 12.5

.<br><br> y = x2 + 3<br> y = x + 5
ddd [48]
I assume you mean x squared in the first equation

Because both are equal to y, they are equal to each other so x + 5 = x^2 +3
If we then move everything over to one side, we get x^2 - x - 2 = 0

Then factorise it to (x-2)(x+1) = 0
And solve both parts separately

x + 1 = 0
x = -1

x-2 = 0
x = 2

Sub both values into the simplest equation in this case y=x+5
to get y = 4 and y = 7
