Answer: Alvin = 42 yrs , Elga = 21 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Elga's age be x , and Alvin's age be y ,since Alvin is two times Elga's age , then

Alvin's age = 2x , that is

y = 2x ............... equation 1

The sum of their ages is 63 implies

x + y = 63 .............. equation 2

Solving the resulting linear equations by substitution method.

Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 , we have

x + 2x = 63

3x = 63

x = 63/3

x = 21

Therefore : Elga is 21 years old , then Alvin will be 21 x 2, which will be 42

HELP What is the area of this figure?
Mademuasel [1]
The correct answer is:  [B]:  "40 yd² " .
_____________________________________________________
First, find the area of the triangle:

The formula of the area of a triangle, "A":

A = (1/2) * b * h ; 

in which:  " A = area (in units 'squared') ;  in our case, " yd² " ; 

                 " b = base length" = 6 yd.  

                 " h = perpendicular height" = "(4 yd + 4 yd)" = 8 yd.
___________________________________________________
→  A = (1/2) * b * h = (1/2) * (6 yd) * (8 yd) = (1/2) * (6) * (8) * (yd²) ; 
                                                                 
                                                                   =  " 24 yd² " .
___________________________________________________
Now, find the area, "A", of the square:

The formula for the area, "A" of a square:

   A = s² ;

in which:  "A = area (in "units squared") ; in our case, " yd² " ;
                 
                 "s = side length (since a 'square' has all FOUR (4) equal side lengths);

 A = s²  = (4 yd)² = 4² * yd² =  "16 yd² "
_________________________________________________
Now, we add the areas of BOTH the triangle AND the square:
_________________________________________________
        →  " 24 yd²  +  16 yd² " ; 

to get:  " 40 yd² " ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [B]:  " 40 yd² " .
