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.
-
From \( M + 5 = 37 \): \[ M = 37 - 5 \] \[ M = 32 \]
-
From \( N + 21 = 37 \): \[ N = 37 - 21 \] \[ N = 16 \]
Thus, the values are:
- \( M = 32 \)
- \( N = 16 \)
Final answers:
- \( M = 32 \)
- \( N = 16 \)
