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.

If the diagonals of a rhombus are represented by 4x and 6x, the area may be represented by (please give answer with solution)

barxatty [35]

The area for a rhombus can be found by multiplying the two diagonals together and dividing it by two.

4x(6x)=24x^2
(24x^2)/2=12x^2

The area can be represented by E, 12x^2.

Hope this helps!

What is v?<br> -15V-40 = 23-8V

Andrew [12]

Answer:

V = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15V - 40 = 23 - 8V

The objective is to get V alone. To do this, first subtract -15V from both sides. Since -15V is a negative, subtracting it will be adding a positive.

-40 = 23 + 7V

Now that there is only one term with the variable V, subtract 23 from both sides.

-63 = 7V

Finally, divide both sides by 7 to get V completely isolated.

-9 = V.

The final answer is V = -9.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is 80%, that is:
