Question

Equation- 5m - 3n = 19; m - 6n = -7

Answer 1

Answer:

the values are m=5 and n=2

Answer 2

Answer:

5m – 3n = 19 .....(I)

m – 6n = –7 .....(II)

Multiplying (I) with 2 we get

10m – 6n = 38 .....(III)

m – 6n = –7 .....(IV)

Subtracting (IV) from (III) we get

10m-m-6n-(-6n)=38-(-7)

⇒9m=45

⇒m=45/9

=5

Putting the value of m = 5 in (II) we get

5-6n=-7⇒-6n=-7-5

⇒-6n=-12

⇒n=-12/-6

=2

Thus, (m, n) = (5, 2).
