Answer:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Billie's age = x
Tony's age = y
Twice Billie’s age decreased by 3 is Tony’s age.
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
Tony is fourteen years older than Billie.
x = y - 14
We substitute y - 14 for x in Equation 1
y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1
y = 2(y - 14) - 3
y = 2y - 28 - 3
y - 2y = -28 - 3
-y = -31
y = 31 years
Solving for x
x = y - 14
x = 31 - 14
x = 17 years.
Therefore:
Billie's age = x = 17 years
Tony's age = y = 31 years
Explanation
We are asked to give a counter-example for the given statement
A counter-example is an example that opposes or contradicts an idea or statement.
Therefore, for the statement
we have that
Statement: If an appliance is used for cooling
Conclusion: then it is a refrigerator
Then, the option that contradicts this, will be a clothes dryer
Because a dryer doesn't cool
Hence, the answer is a cloth dryer
option D

Work Shown:
You could expand terms out and simplify, but I think it's more handy to leave it in this form so you can easily spot the center and radius from a glance.
The rule is 3x
so to find the next number you multiple the most recent one by 3
the next three are:
32.4, 97.2, 291.6
