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.

Wilson is 10

Mary is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Wilson is 6 years older than Mary

w=6+m

Wilson is 10 less than 5 times Mary's age

w=-10+5m

w=5m-10

Now we set them equal to each other since both equal w

m+6=w=5m-10

m+6=5m-10

subtract m from both sides

6=4m-10

add 10 to both sides

16=4m

divide both sides by 4

4=m

sub back

w=m+6

w=4+6

w=10

This is the best I can do. Hope it helps either way! :)

step-by-step explanation:

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.

ensure that you have copied down this problem correctly.   .

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
