The total for the sum and product of Elvie's age and Arielle's age are 131. If Elvie's age is 10, how old is Arielle?
Reason slowly and give your answer.
11
Let's say Arielle's age is x.

The sum of Elvie's age and Arielle's age is 10 + x.

The product of their ages is 10 * x.

The total for the sum and product of their ages is 10 + x + 10 * x = 131.

To find Ariel's age, we evaluate x, which is 10 + 11x = 131.

This gives us a total of 11x = 121.

Arielle's age is x = 121 / 11.

The value of x, which is Arielles's age, is 11.

.

The final answer: 11
