Correct Answer: 0
Solution :
Given: $x+y=0$ and $5y+7x=24$
From the first equation, we have $y=-x$.
Putting the value of $y$, we get:
$5(-x) + 7x = 24$
⇒ $2x = 24$
$\therefore x = 12$.
Putting $x = 12$ into the first equation
Then, $y = -12$.
Thus, the point of intersection $(m,n)$ is $(12, -12)$.
So, $m+n=12 + (-12) = 0$.
Hence, the correct answer is 0.
