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.
