One eraser costs 20 cents.

Let p = the amount of pencils and e = amount of erasers.

Equation 1. 6p + 5e = $1.60
Equation 2. 3p + 3e = $0.90

If we times equation 2 by 2 to get 6p + 6e = $1.80 and call it equation 3 we can minus equation 1 from it to get equation 4.

Equation 3. 6p + 6e = $1.80
Equation 1. - ( 6p + 5e = $1.60 )
Equation 4. e = $0.20

Therefore an eraser is 20 cents.
Hope that helps.

Exponential form of xyyzzz
Trava [24]

Answer:

  xy²z³

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponent is a way to indicate the number of times the factor is repeated. When it is 1, it is rarely shown.

  x is repeated once, so will appear without an exponent

  y is repeated twice, so will have an exponent of 2

  z is repeated 3 times, so will have an exponent of 3

__

  xyyzzz = xy²z³

_____

In plain text, an exponent is indicated with a caret (^).

  xy^2z^3
