Question

the cost of 3 markers and 2 pencils is 1.80$ and the cost of 4 markers and 6 pencils is 2.90$ what is the cost of each item?

Answer 1

solve the eqn

Answer 2

that doesn't make any sense

Answer 3

3m+2p=1.8
4m+6p=2.9
-9m-6p=-5.4
-5m=-2.5
marker=$0.5
1.5+2p=1.8
2p=0.3
pencil=$0.15

Answer 4

Let the number of pencils be x
Let the number of markers be y

2x + 3y = 1.80------>1
6x + 4y = 2.90------>2

x = 0.15
y = 0.5

That are the prices, $0.15/pencil and $0.5/marker,
