Answer :
[tex]5m-2p=24 \\
\underline{3m+2p=24} \\
5m+3m+2p-2p=24+24 \\
8m=48 \\
m=6 \\ \\
5m-2p=24 \\
5 \times 6-2p=24 \\
30-2p=24 \\
-2p=24-30 \\
-2p=-6 \\
p=3 \\ \\ \hbox{the answer:} \\ m=6 \\ p=3[/tex]
5m-2p=24 (label equation 1)
3m+2p=24 (label equation 2)
equation 1 + equation 2--> 8m=24
m=3 ( i divided by 8 to both sides)
sub m=3 into equation 1
5(3)-2p=24
15-2p=24
-2p=9 ( i subtracted 15 to both sides)
p=9/-2 ( i divided by -2 to both sides)
p=-9/2
therefore m=3 and p=-9/2
3m+2p=24 (label equation 2)
equation 1 + equation 2--> 8m=24
m=3 ( i divided by 8 to both sides)
sub m=3 into equation 1
5(3)-2p=24
15-2p=24
-2p=9 ( i subtracted 15 to both sides)
p=9/-2 ( i divided by -2 to both sides)
p=-9/2
therefore m=3 and p=-9/2
