Shiloh is 7 years older than Courtney. Shiloh's age is 13 years less than two times Courtney's age. The system below models the relationship between Shiloh's age (s) and Courtney's age (c):

s = c + 7
s = 2c – 13

Which of the following methods is correct to find Shiloh's and Courtney's age? (4 points)


Solve s + 7 = 2s – 13 to find the value of s.
Solve c + 7 = 2c – 13 to find the value of c.

Answer:

Option B is correct

Solve c + 7 = 2c – 13 to find the value of c.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Shiloh is 7 years older than Courtney. Shiloh's age is 13 years less than two times Courtney's age.

The system below models the relationship between Shiloh's age (s) and Courtney's age (c):

[tex]s = c+7[/tex]           ....[1]

[tex]s = 2c-13[/tex]         ....[2]

Equate the equation [1] and [2], to solve for c we have;

[tex]c+7 = 2c-13[/tex]

Therefore, the following methods is correct to find Shiloh's and Courtney's age is:

Solve c + 7 = 2c – 13 to find the value of c.
