Question

Jamie is 5 years older than Ella. Jamie's age is 11 years less than three times Ella's age. The system below models the relationship between Jamie's age (j) and Ella's age (e):

j = e + 5
j = 3e − 11

Which of the following methods is correct to find Jamie's and Ella's age?

Answer 1

- Solve j + 5 =3j to find the value of j
- Write the points where the graphs of equations intersect the x-axis
- Write the points where the graphs of equations intersect the y-axis
- Sole e + 5 = 3e - 11 to find the value of e
