    M + n = 5

    m = n + 3

    plug m=n+3 into the first equation.

    (n+3) + n=5

    n+n+3=5

    2n+3=5

    2n=2

    n=1

    First rearrange the first equation and solve it for 'm':

    m + n = 5

    Subtract n to both sides:

    m = - n + 5

    Now plug in - n + 5 for 'm' in the 2nd equation:

    -n + 5 - n = 3

    Combine like terms:

    -2n + 5 = 3

    Subtract 5 to both sides:

    -2n = - 2

    Divide - 2 to both sides:

    n = 1

    Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations and solve for 'm':

    m + n = 5

    m + 1 = 5

    Subtract 1 to both sides:

    m = 4

    So our full answer is (4, 1)
