m + n = 5......m = 5 - n
m - n = 3

5 - n - n = 3
5 - 2n = 3
5 - 3 = 2n
2 = 2n
2/2 = n
1 = n

m - n = 3
m - 1 = 3
m = 3 + 1
m = 4

solution is (4,1)

The system of the equation has a unique solution and the solution of the equation is (4, 1).

solving for m,

\(m+n=5\\m = 5-n\)

\(m-n=3\)

substituting the value of m,

\(m-n=3\\(5-n)-n=3\\5-n-n=3\\-2n=3-5\\-2n=-2\\\ =\dfrac{-2}{-2}\\\ =1\)

Substituting the value of n in all the equation 1,

\(m+n=5\\m+(1)=5\\m=5-1\\m=4\)

As the value of both the variables is unique also neither of the equations is in the ratio, therefore, the system has a unique solution.

To verify that the system of equations has a unique solution we can draw a graph.

Hence, the system of the equation has a unique solution and the solution of the equation is (4, 1).
