You are given m. Plug it in!
- 6n + 8(4n + 11) = 36
distribute
- 6n + 32n + 88 = 36
gather variable terms
26n + 88 = 36
subtract 88 from each side
26n = - 52
divide both sides integers by 26
n = - 2
------find m
m = 4(- 2) + 11
m = - 8 + 11
m = 3
------check
- 6(- 2) + 8(3) = 36
12 + 24 = 36
36 = 36
