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

Answers:
a. £2,090
b. My answer would be less because my total in euros would be divided by a greater number when converting euros to pounds.
Work for part a:
Apartment: 560•3= 1680 euros
Car: 20.16•15= 302.4 euros
1680+302.4=1982.4
1982.4/1.12 = £x/1
1982.4 / 1.12= £1,770
£1,770 + £320 = £2,090 total
Work for part b:
Example:
(instead of 1.12 I put 2 to see what would happen with a greater number)
1982.4 / 2 = 991.2
991.2 is less than 1,770 (the answer I got with 1.12)
Let me know if you need any clarification! :)
