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

Tell whether the number is prime or composite 68?
Blababa [14]
Composite.
Because the definition of them is, <span>A prime number has only two factors: 1 and itself. A composite number has more than two factors. The number 1 is neither prime nor composite. The prime numbers between 2 and 31 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 and 31 since each of these numbers has only two factors, itself and 1.

4 - 3x = 8 - 4x Plz answer this question
timurjin [86]

Answer:x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4−3x=8−4x

4+−3x=8+−4x

−3x+4=−4x+8

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.

−3x+4+4x=−4x+8+4x

x+4=8

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

x+4−4=8−4

x=4

A farmer sees 56 of his cows out of the barn. He knows that he has 83 cows altogether. Let c represent the number of cows still
irinina [24]

No, the number of cows in the barn is 27. You can get this number by subtracting the 83 cows he has from the 56 that are out of the barn.

83 - 56 = 27
