Here are the solutions for mm and nn for each part:

Part a· 2 steps

Equation: x=3y−1x = 3y - 1

  1. Find nn.

    When x=23x = 23, y=ny = n.

    23=3n−123 = 3n - 1 23+1=3n23 + 1 = 3n 24=3n24 = 3n n=243n = \frac{24}{3} n=8n = 8
  2. Find mm.

    When y=20y = 20, x=mx = m.

    m=3(20)−1m = 3(20) - 1 m=60−1m = 60 - 1 m=59m = 59

    For part a), n=8,m=59\boxed{n = 8, m = 59}

Part b

m=−2,n=10m = -2, n = 10

Equation: x=−2y+6x = -2y + 6

  1. Find mm.

    When y=4y = 4, x=mx = m.

    m=−2(4)+6m = -2(4) + 6 m=−8+6m = -8 + 6 m=−2m = -2
  2. Find nn.

    When x=−14x = -14, y=ny = n.

    −14=−2n+6-14 = -2n + 6 −14−6=−2n-14 - 6 = -2n −20=−2n-20 = -2n n=−20−2n = \frac{-20}{-2} n=10n = 10

    For part b), m=−2,n=10\boxed{m = -2, n = 10}

Part c

n=7,m=−402n = 7, m = -402

Equation: y=−4x−2y = -4x - 2

  1. Find nn.

    When y=−30y = -30, x=nx = n.

    −30=−4n−2-30 = -4n - 2 −30+2=−4n-30 + 2 = -4n −28=−4n-28 = -4n n=−28−4n = \frac{-28}{-4} n=7n = 7
  2. Find mm.

    When x=100x = 100, y=my = m.

    m=−4(100)−2m = -4(100) - 2 m=−400−2m = -400 - 2 m=−402m = -402

    For part c), n=7,m=−402\boxed{n = 7, m = -402}

Part d

n=3,m=18n = 3, m = 18

Equation: y=x+2y = x + 2

  1. Find nn.

    When y=5y = 5, x=nx = n.

    5=n+25 = n + 2 n=5−2n = 5 - 2 n=3n = 3
  2. Find mm.

    When x=16x = 16, y=my = m.

    m=16+2m = 16 + 2 m=18m = 18

    For part d), n=3,m=18\boxed{n = 3, m = 18}
