Answer:
y = 2x - 4; Alex is 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Alex is 4 years younger than 2 times his sister's age, and his sister is y and Alex is x, the function of y to x must be y = 2x - 4.
According to the rule, if Alex's sister is 11, Alex is 2 times that minus four. If you calculate that, you get
11 * 2 = 22
22 - 4 = 18
So Alex is 18 if his sister is 11.
Answer:10
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 # hamburger = 16 oz to a pound so 1/4 is 4 oz.
1 doz baseballs (12), 5 oz each
Box = 9 oz.

69/16 = 4 lb. 5 oz.
Answer:
x ≈ 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent , both 2x - 4 , then
x + 2x - 4 + 2x - 4 = 24 , that is
5x - 8 = 24 ( add 8 to both sides )
5x = 32 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 6.4 ≈ 6 ( to the nearest whole number )
