Who invented the eraser on the end of the pencil?
It's been more than 150 years since the eraserattached itself to the pencil. We can only assume that hymen-lipmanwas a man who made his fair share of mistakes, but they may have inspired him to stick the eraser on the end of the pencil, making it more convenient to erase the written errors. He got a patent for the development on this date in 1858. Lipman's early version was a pencil with a groove at the top, into which he glued an eraser. He sold his patent in 1862; the US Supreme Court later invalidated it, saying that since combining a pencil with an eraser did not change the function of either item, the pencil-with-eraser could not be patented.

yes pencil fades on paper overtime especially pencil drawings this is due to the friction caused when paper rubs off against each other even when flipping pages and with moisture one day you will have a dark line drawn of pencil then later the line becomes lighter and lighter until you can easily erase them.

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...
