Elga's age is 50, and Alvin's age is 56. So, the sum of their ages is 106.

Let the age of Elga be x.

Age of Alvin = x + 6

Sum of ages = 106

x + x + 6 = 106

2x + 6 = 106

2x = 106 - 6

2x = 100

x = $\frac{100}{2}$

x = 50

Hence, Elga is 50 years old.

irina [24]

Question: What is the solution to the equation $\bold{x\cdot \:2=9x+6}$

Answer: $\boxed{\bold{x=-\frac{6}{7}}}$

Explanation: $\downarrow{\downarrow{\downarrow{}}}$

[ Step One] Subtract 9x From Both Sides Of Equation

$\bold{x\cdot \:2-9x=9x+6-9x}$

[ Step Two ] Simplify Equation

$\bold{-7x=6}$

[ Step Three ] Divide Both Sides By -7

$\bold{\frac{-7x}{-7}=\frac{6}{-7}}$

[ Step Four ] Simplify

$\bold{x=-\frac{6}{7}}$

$\bold{\rightarrow{}Rhythm \ Bot\leftarrow{}}$

dolphi86 [110]

We know that Heidi has x donations. We also know that Granpa has 2 fewer donations than Heildi, which means to subtract so x - 2. We also know that there are 7 donations in all. This tells use donations = 7 in all. So

Heidi donations = x
Grandpa = x - 2
Heidi + Grandpa = Total donations

x + (x-2) = 7
