Answer:

Find other solutions in explanation

x = 250

y = 1750

Step-by-step explanation:

x = cost per copybook

y = cost per pen

2. Sum of the cost of 4 copy books and 3 pen is equal to 7750

3.)

2x+y=2750 - - (1)

4x + 3y = 7750 - - - (2)

From (1)

y = 2750 - 2x

Substitute y = 2750 - 2x into (2)

4x + 3(2750 - 2x) = 7750

4x + 8250 - 6x = 7750

-2x = - 500

x = 500/2

x = 250

y = 2750 - 2(500)

y = 2750 - 1000

y = 1750
