Answer:
m = 2
n = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so to solve this, you want to get it so there is only one variable and then solve that equation. To do this, you can start by doing:
3m + n = 10
multiply both sides by 2
6m + 2n = 20
now, in both of your equations you have 2n so you can add the two equations:
6m + 2n = 20
+ 5m - 2n = 2
11m = 22
divide both sides by 11
m = 2.
Now, plug this value into the original equation, 3m + n = 10:
3 * 2 + n = 10
6 + n = 10
subtract 6 from both sides
n = 4
