Question

Two equations are given below:

m + 3n = 10
m = n − 2

What is the solution to the set of equations in the form (m, n)?

A (1, 3)
B (2, 4)
C (0, 2)
D (4, 6)

Answer 1

my best guest is C

Answer 2

okay so m=n-2 plug it into the first equation

Answer 3

(n-2)+3n=10

Answer 4

n-2+3n=10
n+3n=10+2

get n's on one side

whats n+3n=?
and 10+2=?

Answer 5

10 + 2 = 12 and I think that 3n is cancelled right

Answer 6

no 3n+1n=?

Answer 7

oh okay so 3+1 = 4

Answer 8

3n+1n=4n

Answer 9

so I am taking it is D right

Answer 10

okay so 4n=12

divide both by 4 so n=3

Answer 11

please stop guessing, im taking you through the problem

Answer 12

I am sorry plz continue

Answer 13

okay now to get m, we plug in 3 for n in one of the equations

m=n-2
so plug in n=3

m=3-2

Answer 14

whats 3-2?

Answer 15

1

Answer 16

The answer C

Answer 17

correct so m=1 and n=3

so they put in it (m,n) order
(1, 3)

Answer 18

m=0, n=2

Answer 19

thank you all even you @rebeccaxhawaii for taking me through and help me out even when I was guessing

Answer 20

no problem c: good luck with your studies.
