Elga's age = x

Alvin's age = x + 7

x + x + 7 = 97.

Simplify the left side of the equation

2x + 7 = 97.

Subtract 7 from each side

2x = 90.

Divide each side by 2

x = 45

Since x is equal to Elga's age, Elga is 45 years old

The number:

$5.634\times10^2$

is going to be between the numbers 563 and 564; since 10 squared equals 100 and the decimal point will move to places to the right.

Therefore, the answer is D.
