The correct method would be to solve the system of equations:
m = v + 6
m = 5v − 2
By setting the two equations equal to each other, we can solve for the values of m and v:
v + 6 = 5v − 2
6 + 2 = 5v - v
8 = 4v
v = 2
Now that we have found the value of v, we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to find m:
m = 2 + 6
m = 8
Therefore, Victor is 2 years old and Meg is 8 years old. This method allows us to find both Meg's and Victor's ages.
Meg is 6 years older than Victor. Meg's age is 2 years less than five times Victor's age. The equations below model the relationship between Meg's age (m) and Victor's age (v):
m = v + 6
m = 5v − 2
Which is a possible correct method to find Meg's and Victor's ages? (5 points)
Solve m + 6 = 5m − 2 to find the value of m.
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x axis.
Solve v + 6 = 5v − 2 to find the value of v.
Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y axis.

My apologies for not providing the options in my previous response. The correct option is:
C) Solve v + 6 = 5v − 2 to find the value of v.
C) Solve v + 6 = 5v − 2 to find the value of v.
