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

Help me with number 8
kirza4 [7]
Supreme sold 29 tires.  Set it up like this, with Supreme as your x and Prestige as y: 48x + 56y = 2008.  This is an equation in terms of money, with x being the number of Supreme tires sold at $48 each and y being the number of Prestige tires sold at $56 each. We know that Prestige sold 11, so sub it for y and do the math: 48x = 2008 - 616; x = 29
