Question

Solve the given system by substitution.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5m = 2/3m - 13

15m = 2m - 39

13m = -39

m = -3

n = 5(-3)

n = -15

(-3, -15)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

n = 5m

n = 2/3m - 13

Step 2: Solve for m

Substitution

1. Substitute in n:                                 5m = 2/3m - 13
2. Subtract 2/3m on both sides:          13/3m = -13
3. Divide 11/3 on both sides:                m = -3

Step 3: Solve for n

1. Define equation:                    n = 5m
2. Substitute in m:                      n = 5(-3)
3. Multiply:                                  n = -15
