Answer:
Elgas is 35.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up an equation.
Alvin is 7 years younger than Elgas.
A = E - 7
The sum of their ages is 63.
A + E = 63
Let's use substitution.
Plug in the first equation of A into the second equation.
A + E = 63
(E - 7) + E = 63
Combine like terms.
2E - 7 = 63
Add 7 to both sides.
2E = 70
Divide both sides by 2.
E = 35
Elgas is 35.

so to find 15% of 54,237, we use this equation: (x/54237) = (15/100) where x is the amount of income tax.
cross multiply: 100x = 813555
divide each side by 100 to isolate x: 8135.55
the truck driver will pay $8135.55
Answer:
64.1
Step-by-step explanation:
You use Pythagorean theorem which is x^2 +y^2=z^2 (^ this means to the power of) so you would get 55^2+33^2=z^2. solving this would get you z=64.1404708433 or 64.1
Answer: The price of an adult ticket = $6
The price of a student ticket = $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of an adult ticket be a
Let the price of a student ticket be b.
From the question,
5a + 14b = 198 ...... equation i
10a + 8b = 156....... equation ii
Multiply equation i by 10
Multiply equation ii by 5
50a + 140b = 1980 ...... equation iii
50a + 40b = 780 ....... equation iv
Subtract iv from iii
100b = 1200
b = 1200/100
b = 12
Put the value of b into equation ii
10a + 8b = 156
10a + 8(12) = 156
10a + 96 = 156
10a = 156-96
10a = 60
a = 6
The price of an adult ticket = $6
The price of a student ticket = $12
