Wilson is 6 years older than mary. wilsons age is 10 years less than five times mary's age. the equations below model the relationship between wilsons 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?

a) solve w+6=5w-10 to find the value of w.
b)write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x axis.
c) solve m+6+5m-10 to find the value of m.
d)write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y axis.

c) Solve m+6+5m-10 to find the value of m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is :

Wilson is 6 years older than Mary.

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

The equations that model the relationship between Wilson's age (w) and Mary's age (m) are :

Now we will solve this by setting them equal to each other since both equal 'w'

Clubbing the like terms together:

Dividing both sides by 4:

And w=m+6

so,

Hence, Wilson is 10 years old and Mary is 4 years old.

So, C can be the answer. But it should have been just like option A. There is a writing error but we can consider option C.

step-by-step explanation:

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
