Question

Two equations are given below:

m + 3n = 10
m = n − 2

What is the solution to the set of equations in the form (m, n)?

(1, 3)
(2, 4)
(0, 2)
(4, 6)

Answer 1

For this equation, we can just plug in the equation of m in for m. This makes the equation: n - 2 + 3n = 10. We then only have to solve for n. We add 2 to both sides, making it n + 3n = 12, is which is also 4n = 12. We then divide both sides by 4, getting n = 3. The only answer saying n = 3 is the first.

Answer 2

The answer you're looking for is (1,3)
