-4m + 2n = 6
-4m + n = 8
solve for and x and y steps

I am doing this problem assuming that you mean to solve for m and n as x and y do not exist in this system of equations.

-4m+2n=6

-4m+n=8

We can see that the coefficient of x for both equations are -4; therefore, elimination with subtraction is possible.

First equation - second equation

n=-2

Then substitude back in to solve for m

-4m+(-2)=8

4m=10

m=5/2

Therefore the answer is

n= - 2

m= 5/2

I hope this helped and if you have any questions please ask.
