where x is the cost of one pen, y is the cost of one pencil: 3x + 5y = 2.25 5x + 3y = 2.95 Just need to isolate x in the first equation: x = 2.25/3 -5y/3, or 0.75 -5y/3 then, substitute .75 -5y/3 for x in the SECOND eq. : 5(.75 - 5y/3) +3y = 2.95 Next, solve for y. then use that value to solve for x. too tired to finish...
