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
Since there are two halves in a whole, you can times each number by 2 to get the number of halves it has.
12*2=24
10*2=20
13*2=26
15*2=30
8*2=16
5*2=10
<span>Let us use the variable x for length. So width will be 1/2x + 3.
Perimeter = x+x+ 1/2x + 3 +1/2x + 3 = 3x + 6 = 66
Therefore 3x = 66-6 = 60
So x = 60/3 = 20
The length is 20 cm.
Therefore the width = 1/2 of 20 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 cm
Check: 20+20+13+13 = 66</span>
Trick question — it’s a right triangle. Here’s why:
23 + 67 = 90. All triangles have an interior angle sum of 180. 180 - 90 = 90. 90 degrees is right, and therefore, having a right angle, this is a right triangle.
