Question

Alvin's age is two times Elga's age. The sum of their ages is 78. What is Elga's age?

Answer 1

Elga's age is 26. I solved this by: dividing 78 by 2, guessing a random number close enough too it, (in this case I just randomly chose 26) and multiplying it by two, then adding the numbers.

Answer 2

78/3 is 26 and 26+26 is 52 so the answer is 52 for alvis and elgas age is 26
