Okay then you can either multiply the top equation by -2 or -1 right? Which one do u want me to do?

anonymous · Answer

Ohhh that method, umm up to you.
But the easiest way (for me) is to isolate the single variable, that being the m in any of the two equations, then subbing it into the other one. Then isolate for the f :D

anonymous · Answer

your way works too, but I find that it takes more work? Idk
