Lindsay is 555 years younger than Mark. Seven years ago, the sum of their ages was 313131.
Let l be Lindsay's age and let mmm be Mark's age.
Which system of equations represents this situation?
Choose 1

System:

Equation 1:  L = M - 5Equation 2: L + M = 45

Explanation:

Rewrite the question to delete the typos:

Lindsay is 5 years younger than Mark. Seven years ago, the sum of their ages was 31. Let l be Lindsay's age and let mmm be Mark's age.Which system of equations represents this situation?

1. Name your variables:

Lindsay's age: LMark's age: M

2. Translate each verbal statement into an algebraic expression:

a) Lindsay is 5 years younger than Mark

L = M - 5  ← first equation

b) Seven years ago, the sum of their ages was 31

L - 7 + M - 7 = 31 Simplify:

                       L + M - 14 = 31

                       L + M = 31 + 14

                       L + M = 45 ← second equation

3. Write the two equations:

System:

Equation 1:  L = M - 5Equation 2: L + M = 45

Then why is the question on here if you know the answer
