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 and m

Answer 1

Answer:

 n =  45 and m = 9

Explanation:

  The value of n is both 5 times as much as the value of m and 36 more than the value of m.

So, we have

              n = 5 m  --------------equation 1    

              n = m + 36  --------------equation 2

   Substituting value of n in equation 2,

             5 m = m + 36

                4 m = 36

                    m = 9

  Substituting in equation 1,

                    n = 5 x 9 = 45

  So, n =  45 and m = 9
