Answer:

m = -5

n = -2

Explanation:

5m + 6n = -37

10m + 4n = -58 multiply first equation by -2

-2 × 5m + 6n = -37

-10m + (-12n) = 74 now add two equations up

10m - 10m + 4n - 12n = 74 - 58 add/ subtract like terms

-8n = 16 divide both sides by -8

n = -2

to find the value of m, replace n with -2 in the first equation

5m + 6*(-2) = -37

5m - 12 = -37 add 12 to both sides

5m = -25 divide both sides by 5

m = -5
