Answer:

Elga's age is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to make our equation.

2x+x=69

In this equation, 2x is Alvin's age, while Elga's age is x. The 69 is the sum of their ages.

Combine the like terms in this equation.

3x=69

Divide both sides by 3

3/3x=69/3

x=23

Elga's age is 23, but we still need to check to make sure we are correct.

To do this, plug in 23 for x.

2(23)+23=69

46+23=69

69=69

Do we get a true statement? Yes, so we are correct.

Find the value of x
Veronika [31]

Answer:

x =147

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles is = 360 -(2x+1) ( since it will make a full circle)

42+(-124+x) =360-(2x+1)

Combine like terms

x-82 =359-2x

Add 2x to each side

x-82+2x = 359

3x -82 = 359

Add 82 to each side

3x-82+82 = 359+82

3x = 441

Divide by 3

3x/3=441/3

x =441/3  or 147

The line has the same slope as 7x-y=5 and the same y intercept as the graph 3y-11x=15
scoundrel [369]
7x - y= -5. Standard form is when it is written with x and y on the same side, but x is not negative or a fraction. To find the slope and y intercept, you must change the first two equations to slope intercept. You get y=7x-5 for the first one and y=11/3x+5 for the seccond equation. Take the 5 as your y intercept and the 7 as your slope and you get y=7x+5. Now you need to change it into standard form. When all is said and done, your final answer should be 7x - y = -5.

The length of a rectangle is 11 in. longer than its width. the perimeter of the rectangle is 86 in.write and solve an equation t
Tcecarenko [31]
I hope this helps you


width w


length w+11



perimeter =2 (width +length )


86=2 (w+w+11)


43=2w+11


32=2w


w=16

length = w+11=16+11=27
