Answer 1

thats wrong

Answer 2

but thanks for trying

Answer 3

okay so here is the equation
n + (n + 6) = 92

Answer 4

i dont want to give the answer alway heres and example Alvin is 7 years younger than Elga The sum of their ages is 87 What is Elga's age?

Answer 5

If Alvin is 7 years younger than Elga, then Alvin + 7 = Elga. If the sum of their ages is 87, then Alvin + Elga = 87. Substitute Alvin + 7 in the previous equation to get Alvin + (Alvin + 7) = 87. Reduce that and get 2 Alvin = 80 which means that Alvin = 40. That means that Elga = 47.

Answer 6

Basically what Jacob said. :) If you try to use the equation

n + (n + 6) = 92

n is Thomas' age

what you have to do is this;

1) simplify the equation

2n + 6 = 92

2) isolate the variable

2n = 86

n = 86/2

then go form there >.<
