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...

If a farmer has 9 sheep and 4 pens how does he get an odd number of sheep in each pen?

I think this is impossible. But try drawing 4 squares on a piece of paper, then gradually filling the squares with 'sheep', and see if you can work it.

But it can be done ! # Draw a large square on a piece of paper,

# draw three small squares inside the large one but not overlapping,

# put three sheep in each of the small squares. # Count the number of sheep in each square including the large one.

# Then you have answered it yourself.
