Question from tiya, a student: hello, i want to know how to solve this question. m/6+2n/3=6 |
Hi Tiya,
I can help you get started.
I would eliminate the fractions, for example with the first equation if you multiply both sides by 6 you get
\[ 6 \times \left( \frac{m}{6} + \frac{2n}{3} \right) = 6 \times 6\]
or
\[m + 4n = 36.\]
Now eliminate the fractions in the second equation and then solve for $m$ and $n.$
