Answer:

n = 45 and m = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of n is both 5 times as much as the value of m and 36 more than the value of m.

So, we have

n = 5 m --------------equation 1

n = m + 36 --------------equation 2

Substituting value of n in equation 2,

5 m = m + 36

4 m = 36

m = 9

Substituting in equation 1,

n = 5 x 9 = 45

So, n = 45 and m = 9
