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.

Answer:Question 1:  x + 8 + 3x + 8 = 48Question 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 + 8Question 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
