Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her present age. The given relation is ...

  x +12 = x^2

Putting this in standard form, we can factor it:

  x^2 -x -12 = 0

  (x -4)(x +3) = 0

Solutions to this quadratic are x = 4, x = -3. The -3 solution is extraneous in this context.

The girl's present age is 4.

Mila and samuel had an equal amount of money for shopping. Mila spent $42 and Samuel spent $36. After that, Mila had 1/2 of what
koban [17]

Answer:

Mila had $48 initially

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money they had be x

Mila spent $42; what is left would be x-42

Samuel spent $36: what is left would be x-36

So, what Mila had left is half of what Samuel has; that would be;

x-42 = 1/2(x-36)

2(x-42) = x -36

2x-84 = x -36

2x - x = 84 -36

x = $48
