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

Answer:
D) No Solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines have the same slope (-4), but different y-intercepts (3, 0), so they are parallel lines. There can be no values of x and y that satisfy both equations.
There are no solutions.
They are always on a coplanar
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
6(x + 4) = 2(y + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides of the equation
6x + 24 = 2y + 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
6x + 14 = 2y ( divide all terms by 2 )
3x + 7 = y, hence
y = 3x + 7 → C
