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! :)

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
