$10-\frac{3x-1}{2} =\frac{6x+3}{11}$

$10 = \frac{6x+3}{11} + \frac{3x-1}{2}$

$10 = (\frac{6x+3}{11} \times \frac{2}{2} ) + (\frac{3x-1}{2} \times \frac{11}{11} )$

$10 = ( \frac{2(6x + 3)}{22} ) + ( \frac{11(3x - 1)}{22} )$

$10 = \frac{12x + 6}{22} + \frac{33x - 11}{22}$

$10 = \frac{12x + 6 + 33x - 11}{22}$

$10 = \frac{(12 x + 33x) + (6 - 11)}{22}$

$10 = \frac{45x - 5}{22}$

$10 \times 22 = 45x - 5$

$220 = 45x - 5$

$220 + 5 = 45x$

$225 = 45x$

$\frac{225}{45} = x$

$\frac{45}{9} = x$

$5 = x$

Alvin is 7 years younger than Elgas. The sum of their ages is 63. What is Elgas age?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Elgas is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up an equation.

Alvin is 7 years younger than Elgas.

A = E - 7

The sum of their ages is 63.

A + E = 63

Let's use substitution.

Plug in the first equation of A into the second equation.

A + E = 63

(E - 7) + E = 63

Combine like terms.

2E - 7 = 63

Add 7 to both sides.

2E = 70

Divide both sides by 2.

E = 35

Elgas is 35.

Hope this helps!
