Peter is 2 years older than Winnie. Peter's age is 16 years less than seven times Winnie's age. The equations below model the relationship between Peter's age (p) and Winnie's age (w):

p = w + 2
p = 7w − 16

Which is a possible correct method to find Peter's and Winnie's ages?

I would say P = w + 2, because their ages change over time but the difference between the ages will always be the same.
