Fill in the blank with numerals only.
M=
N=

1 answer

To solve for \( M \) and \( N \) given the equation formatted as \( M + 5 = N + 21 = 37 \), we can set up two equations based on the relationships provided.

  1. From \( M + 5 = 37 \): \[ M = 37 - 5 \] \[ M = 32 \]

  2. From \( N + 21 = 37 \): \[ N = 37 - 21 \] \[ N = 16 \]

Thus, the values are:

  • \( M = 32 \)
  • \( N = 16 \)

Final answers:

  • \( M = 32 \)
  • \( N = 16 \)
