Question

question 13 (multiple choice worth 5 points) (08.03 mc) a system of equations is shown below: n = 3m 6 n − 2m = 2 what is the solution, in the form (m, n), to the system of equations? (−4, −6) (−5, −9) (2, 6) (1, 8)

Answer 1

If you would like to solve the system of equations n = 3m + 6 and n - 2m = 2, you can do this using the following steps:

n = 3m + 6
n - 2m = 2
_________
n - 2m = 2
3m + 6 - 2m = 2
m = 2 - 6
m = -4

n = 3m + 6 = 3 * (-4) + 6 = -12 + 6 = -6

(m, n) = (-4, -6)

The correct result would be (-4, -6).
