Answer 1

Answer:

First choice: m = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation is already solved for n, so lets's use the substitution method and substitute m - 2 for n in the first equation.

m - 2n = 8

m - 2(m - 2) = 8

m - 2m + 4 = 8

-m + 4 = 8

-m = 4

m = -4

Answer 2

The second equation tells you what 'n' is.  It's "m-2" .

So you can simply write "m-2" in place of 'n' in the first equation.

Then the first equation says [ m - 2(m-2) = 8 ], and you should have no trouble solving that.
