Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
ok let's look at these old farts.
alvin is 8 years older than elga, so elga needs 8 more years to be as old as Alvin is. AKA,
Alvin = Elga + 8
The sum of their ages is 78.
Alvin + Elga = 78
Now put the equations together,
(Elga + 8) + Elga = 78
2 * Elga = 70
Elga = 35
Therefore, Elga is 35 years old! So old !!
