Alicia is x years old. her aunt is three times her age. in 8 years, their total combined age will 48 years.

question 1. write a linear equation for their total age in 8 years.

question 2. find alicia and her aunt's present age.

first answer will get brainiest. if you want more points answer the question i just asked it's the same question.

Question 1:  x + 8 + 3x + 8 = 48

Question 2: Alicia is 8, her aunt is 24  

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:  'x' represents Alicia's age.  3x is her aunt's age because her aunt is 3 times her age.  In 8 years, their combined age will be 48.  They each age 8 years, so x becomes x + 8, and 3x becomes 3x + 8

Question 2:  solve the equation x + 8 + 3x + 8 = 48

      4x + 16 = 48            (combine like terms)

           4x = 32              (subtract 16 from both sides)

              x = 8                 (divide by 4 on both sides)

Since x is Alicia's age, she is 8, since 3x is her aunt's age, her aunt is 3(8) = 24

idk

step-by-step explanation:

maybe try   if it is work from a book, if not try
