Question

Meg is 6 years older than Victor. Meg's age is 2 years less than five times Victor's age. The equations below model the relationship between Meg's age (m) and Victor's age (v):

m = v + 6
m = 5v − 2

Which is a possible correct method to find Meg's and Victor's ages?

Solve m + 6 = 5m − 2 to find the value of m.
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x axis.
Solve v + 6 = 5v − 2 to find the value of v.
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y axis.

Answer 1

hello again

Answer 2

Hello hello!

So, you have two equations that both equal m, right?
m = v + 6
m = 5v − 2
Imagine putting the m in the middle, like
v + 6 = m = 5v - 2
Both sides are equal to each other, so this is just like saying
v + 6 = 5v - 2
Then you could solve for v...
I even think one of the answer choices says that too!
