You want the answer. i want to know the question.
What do you want to know about this equation?
Don't say you want the answer!
The answer depends on the question.
You can't solve for both m and n.

Here is the original question
(i)
I notice you have two variables here. ALso M is next to the n on the keyboard, so it could be one variable. We have four options. Hopefully one of these will answer your question.
--
option 1 - solve (i) for m

subtract 4 from both sides to get

divide by 3 to get

--
option 2 - solve (i) for n

subtract 19 from both sides to get

divide by -2 to get

--
option 3 - m=n solve (i) for m

subtract 4 from both sides to get

add 2m to both sides to get

divide by 5 to get

--
option 4 - m=n solve (i) for n

subtract 4 from both sides to get

add 2n to both sides to get

divide by 5 to get
