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?

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

10 Points

Answer 1

C: Solve m + 6 = 5m − 10 to find the value of m.
