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?
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 1

The age of Wilson and Mary will be 10 and 4. Then the point of intersection will be (10, 4). Then the correct option is 1.

The missing options are

1. w = 10 and m = 4
2. w = 4 and m = 10
3. w = 5 and m = 9
4. w = 9 and m = 5

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

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        ...1

w = 5m - 10     ...2

By solving the equations 1 and 2, we have

w = 10 years and m = 4 years

The point of intersection will be (10, 4).

The graph is given below.

Then the correct option is 1.
