To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
282.568n+254.975m+272.32=0
Choose one of the equations and solve it for n by isolating n on the left hand side of the equal sign.
282.568n+254.975m=-272.32
Subtract 272.32 from both sides of the equation.
