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)

Verified Answer :

naǫ

\(n=3m+6 \\ n-2m=2 \\ \\ \hbox{substitute 3m+6 for n in the second equation:} \\ 3m+6-2m=2 \\ m+6=2 \\ m=2-6 \\ m=-4 \\ \\ n=3m+6=3 \times (-4)+6=-12+6=-6 \\ \\ \boxed{(m,n)=(-4,-6)}\)

Answer:

\((-4,-6)\).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a system of equations and we are asked to find the solution for given system of equations in the form (m,n).

\(n=3m+6...(1)\)

\(n-2m=2...(2)\)

We will use substitution method to solve linear equation. Upon substituting equation (10 in equation (2) we will get,

\(3m+6-2m=2\)

Combine like terms:

\(m+6=2\)

\(m+6-6=2-6\)

\(m=-4\)

Substituting \(m=-4\) in equation (2) we will get,

\(n-2\times -4=2\)

\(n+8=2\)

\(n+8-8=2-8\)

\(n=-6\)

Therefore, the solution for our given system of equation is \((-4,-6)\).
