Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

100+(n-2)² = 149

100-100+(n-2)² = 149-100

(n-2)² = 49

(n-2)² - 49 =0 but 49=7²

(n-2)² - 7² =0 use identity : a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)

(n-2-7)(n-2+7)=0

(n-9)(n+5)=0

n-9=0 or n+5=0

n=9 or n=-5

James is four years younger than Austin. If three times James' age is increased by the square of Austin's age, the result is 28.

Let's use J for James's age and A for Austin's age. The equations are:

J = A - 4
3J + A² = 28

Just plug (A - 4) in the place of J in the second equation. This gives you:

3(A - 4) + A² = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 12 = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 40 = 0
-->
(A - 5)(A + 8) = 0
-->
A = 5 or -8

-8 is nonsense, so Austin is 5 years old. Therefore, James is 1 year old.
