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
