Ben is 5 years older than Wendy. Ben's age is 11 years less than three times Wendy's age. The system below models the relationship between Ben's age (b) and Wendy's age (w):
b = w + 5 b = 3w – 11
Which is the correct method to find Ben's and Wendy's ages?
Solve b + 5 = 3b – 11 to find the value of b.
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x-axis.
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y-axis.
Solve w + 5 = 3w – 11 to find the value of w.
