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
Your anbswer is gonna be 5,7
-2x -9y = -25
-(-4x -9y =-23)
2x = -2
x = -1
-2(-1) -9y = -25
2 - 9y = -25
-9y = -25 -2
-9y = -27
y = 3
(-1,3)
