Answer:

Elga's age be 49 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Elga's age be x years

Then, Alvin's age will be (x - 6) years

The sum of their ages is 92

Therefore,

x + (x - 6) = 92

x + x - 6 = 92

2x - 6 = 92

2x = 92 + 6

2x = 98

x = 98 /2

x = 49 years

Hence,

Elga's age be 49 years

If the top of a 4.50 m ladder reaches twice as far up a vertical wall as the foot of the

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of ladder, L = 4.50 m

Base of ladder from the wall, B = x

Height of the wall, H = 2x

Using Pythagoras theorem

$L^2 = B^2 + H^2$

$4.5^2 = x^2 + (2x)^2$

$5x^2 = 4.5^2$

$x = 2\ m\ (approx.)$

Height of the wall is equal to 2 x 2 = 4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the comparison method because I dont know what type of method you needed, sorry. The methods I know would be: the Comparison Method (what I used), the Substitution Method, Elimination Method,Inverse Matrix Method, Cramer's Rule, and the Gauss-Jordan Method.

You can also rewrite this equation to 3x-y=-7 and x-y=-1.

I'm sorry, I dont know what kind of answer you're looking for. I really hope this helps.
