Answer:
40 or 0
Explanation:
We have a system. m/n = 1/4 and m^2/n =2.
m/n= 1/4
We can isolate m
m = n/4
We can now plug this into the other equation:
m^2/n = 2
(n/4)^2/n = 2
(n/4)^2 = 2n
n^2/16 = 2n
n^2 = 32n
n^2 - 32n = 0
n(n-32) = 0
N = 0, 32
from these, we can get n.
m/n = 1/4
m/32 = 1/4
m = 8
m/0 = 1/4
m = 0
So for each case, we have m +n = 0 + 0 = 0
and m +n = 8+ 32 = 40
