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

A.) which of these expressions is equivalent to 4 x x
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a) The correct option is C: 4x

b) The correct option is B: 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Usually when we have a real number multiplying a variable, we do not need to write the multiplication symbol.

So instead of writing:

4×x

We can write:

4x

And this will be equivalent.

Then in this case the correct option is C.

b) We know that if we have the multiplication of A by n, this will be equivalent to add A n times.

Then if we have the sum of A, for example, 4 times, we have:

A + A + A + A

And this can be written as 4*A

In this case, we have the expression x + x.

So we are adding x two times, then this can be written as: 2*x, or, as we said earlier, this also can be written as 2x.

Then the correct option is option B.

Solve for these letters<br> X<br> Y<br> Z
tester [92]
Z = 140
X = 40
Y = 40
Explanation:
Z and the angle given (140 degrees) are vertical angles, and are therefore congruent
We know that x and y are vertical angles, so they are also congruent to each other
You know that together, the angles have to add up to 360
140 + 140 + x + y = 360
Another way of putting it:
360-280 = 80
Now, we have to divide by two since we need to find x AND y
80/2 = 40
Therefore, your answers for x and y are 40
To double check, you can add up the angles and see if they equal 360
140 + 140 + 40 + 40
280 + 80 = 360
