Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++3%5Cm+%2B+1%5Cn+=+0%2C%0D%0A++++1%5Cm+%2B+-5%5Cn+=+32+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving 1*n to the right, we get:
3%2Am+=+0+-+1%2An, or m+=+0%2F3+-+1%2An%2F3. Substitute that
into another equation:
1%2A%280%2F3+-+1%2An%2F3%29+%2B+-5%5Cn+=+32 and simplify: So, we know that n=-6. Since m+=+0%2F3+-+1%2An%2F3, m=2.

Answer: system%28+m=2%2C+n=-6+%29.
