What is the value of m in the following system of two equations?
4m = 12-3m
3n/4=3-m

Explanation

If you multiply the second equation by 4, and then isolate the m-term, it reveals that the two equations are the same:
4*3n/4=4(3-m)
3n=12-4m
4m=12-3n
Given one linear equation in two variables, there are an infinite number of possible values for each variable.
