Question 496161: I'm stuck on a question involving the method of substitution. The question wants me to find the point of intercept and the two equations are:
2m+n=2
3m-2n=3
I have already attempted this question several times, but can't seem to find out what I'm doing wrong.

question involving the method of substitution. The question wants me to find the point of intercept and the two equations are:
2m+n=2
3m-2n=3
-----
n = 2-2m
---
Substitute into the other equation snd solve for "m":
3m - 2(2-2m) = 3
3m -4 + 4m = 3
7m = 7
m = 1
----
Solve for "n"
n = 2-2m
n = 2-2*1
n = 0
