Answer:

36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = Elga's age

Alvin's age = x + 7

Sum of their ages = 79

Sum of their ages = Alvin's age + Elga's age

79 = (x + 7) + x

79 = x + 7 + x

79 = 2x + 7

79 - 7 = 2x

72 = 2x

x = 72/2

x = 36

Elga's age = x = 36 years

Alvin's age = x + 7

= 36 + 7

= 43 years
