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:

C. Solve m + 6 = 5m - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Wilson is 6 years older than Mary.

(MARY's age + 6 = WILSON's age)

Wilson's age is 10 years less than five times Mary's age.

(MARY's age * 5 - 10years = WILSON's age)

(Mary is 4 years old and Wilson is 10:

4 + 6 = 10

4(5) = 20 - 10 = 10

just in case you were curious)

Good luck!!
