Question

Wilson is 6 years older than Mary. Wilson's age is 10 years less than five times Mary's age. The equations below model the relationship between Wilson's age (w) and Mary's age (m):

w = m + 6
w = 5m − 10

Which is a possible correct method to find Wilson's and Mary's ages?

Solve w + 6 = 5w − 10 to find the value of w.
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x axis.
Solve m + 6 = 5m − 10 to find the value of m.
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y axis.

Answer 1

I love these i can help

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

So, try solving each option then, that will help u get ur answer.

Answer 4

i did cant find it worked on it for 30 min

Answer 5

ok, show me ur work

Answer 6

im pretty sure its the 3rd ine am i correct??

Answer 7

how about this w = w therefore m+ 6 = 5m - 10
you have one equation with one unknown solve for m

Answer 8

thank you @triciaal
