Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

Here is the solution to our problem:

To begin with, we give our equations labels as below;

3m − n = 2 ...................eq.1

2m + n = − 7 ..................eq.2

Then, Let's manipulate eq.2

2m + n = − 7

n = -7 - 2m ...............eq3

And finally substitute the manipulated eq.3 into eq.1

3m − n = 2

3m − (-7 - 2m) = 2

3m + 7 + 2m = 2

5m = -5

m = -1

Substitute the value of m into eq.3

n = -7 - 2(-1)

= -5

In terms of x and y;

(x,y) : (m, n) => (-1, -5)

Therefore (m, n) = (-1, -5)

I hope this helps.

Have a nice studies.
