Question

the value of n is both 5 times as much as the value of m and 36 more than the value of m. what are the values of n & m?

Answer 1

n = 5m
n= m + 36

(5m) = m + 36

5m-m = 36

4m = 36

4m/4 = 36/4

m= 9

n = 5m

n = 5(9)

n =45

Therefore n is 45, and m is 9!

n= 5m
45=5(9)
45=45

n = m+36
45=9+36
45=45!
