(08.06) Jamie is 5 years older than Ella. Jamie's age is 11 years less than three times Ella's age. The system below models the relationship between Jamie's age (j) and Ella's age (e): j = e + 5 j = 3e − 11 Which of the following methods is correct to find Jamie's and Ella's age? Solve j + 5 = 3j − 11 to find the value of j. 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 e + 5 = 3e − 11 to find the value of e.
