1. Eliminate one variable by making the coefficients of $m$ equal.
4m+6n3m+5n=58=46(1)(2)
Multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by 4:
12m+18n12m+20n=174=1842. Subtract the equations to find $n$.
Subtract the first new equation from the second:
(12m+20n)−(12m+18n)2nn=184−174=10=53. Substitute $n$ back into one original equation to find $m$.
Substitute n=5 into 3m+5n=46:
3m+5(5)3m+253mm=46=46=21=7答案m=17, n=−35
