Answer:

79 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Lets start with an equation:

200 - 2x = 42

2)Now solve:

200-2x= 42
Subtract 200 from both sides
You should now have: -2x=-158
Divide both sides by -2
You should now have: x= 79

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

if the triangles are congruent then the corresponding sides are equal.

4x + 1 = 13

4x = 13 -1

4x = 12

Therefore x = 3

Now

8x - 2y = 2x + y

y + 2y = 8x - 2x

3y = 6x

3y = 6 * 3

3y =18

Therefore y = 6
