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

How can I find the slope for the roof ?
lana [24]
Slope is the rise over the run. In other words, the difference in y values divided by the difference in x values. Start at the bottom corner of the roof and count the tiles upwards until you get to the top tip of the roof. It should be 4. Now from that point, count over to the right until you are at the top. It should be 5.

So the slope is 4/5 or 0.8.

What is the point that lies on a graph for 10y=3x-11. Is it A (2,-.5) B (4,1) C (6,16.3). Or D (8,23)?
Anit [1.1K]
Case A : x=2, y=-5
so putting the values of x and y in the equation, we get 10y -3x should be -11
so, 10* (-5) - 3 *2 = -50-6 = -56
case B , value of equation = 10*4 - 3*1 = 37
case C, value of equation = 10*6 -3*16.3 = -11.1
Case D, value of equation = 10*8-3*23 = 11
Ans will be C
