Answer:
y = 2x - 4; Alex is 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Alex is 4 years younger than 2 times his sister's age, and his sister is y and Alex is x, the function of y to x must be y = 2x - 4.
According to the rule, if Alex's sister is 11, Alex is 2 times that minus four. If you calculate that, you get
11 * 2 = 22
22 - 4 = 18
So Alex is 18 if his sister is 11.
I'm sorry but what's the full question?
Knowing she makes $9 for each 1 hour, you know that if you'd need to find how much she made after 4 hours, you would do 9(4), giving you the answer of $36.
With this knowledge, you can replace the 4 with h.
9(h)=P
The reason why it's such a simple equation is because it's per hour and nothing else is being increased, decreased, or changed.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
-12, -21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the first number. Then the second is x-9. The other relation is ...
4x = 2(x-9) -6
2x = -24 . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify
x = -12
x-9 = -21
The first number is -12; the second number is -21.
