Answer:

Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be x and x + 2 for Janine and her sister, respectively.

x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14

Multiply both sides by the LCD, 21, to get rid of denominators.

21 * x/7 + 21 * (x + 2)/2 = 21 * 14

3x + 7(x + 2) = 294

3x + 7x + 14 = 294

10x = 280

x = 28

x + 2 = 30

Answer: Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

Answer:

Janine is 28 and Ingrid is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Janine's age be x years , then Ingrid's age is x+2 years.

From the given information we have the equation:

x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14

Multiplying through by the LCM of 3 and 7 (21),  we have:

3x + 7(x + 2) = 294

10x + 14 = 294

10x =  294-14 = 280

x = 28, so:

Janine is 28 and Ingrid is 30.

Alvin is 14 years older than Elga. The sum of their ages is 56. What is Elga's age?
uysha [10]

Answer:

Elga is 32 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Alvin's age = A

Let Elga's age = E

 

Alvin is 10 years younger than Elga, so A = E - 10

The sum of their ages is 54, so A + E = 54

 

Replace the A in the second equation with E - 10, then solve for E.

A + E = 54 becomes (E - 10) + E = 54

 

Combine like terms

2E - 10 = 54

 

Add 10 to both sides

2E = 64

 

Divide both sides by 2

E = 32
