The total units of stationery he has would be 55 approximately.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

David keeps a range of stationery in his study.

Let the pencil is represented by x.

Let the erasers be represented by y.

Let the pens be represented by z.

Let n be the stationery.

5/7 of his stationery consists of pencils.

x = 5/7 n

1/6 of the remaining stationery consists of erasers.

y = 1/6 n

There are 20 pens in his study.

z = 20

The total stationery

X + y + z

5/7 n + 1/6 n + 20 = n

20 = n -23/ 36 n

20 = 13 / 36 n

n = 55.38

Therefore, the total units of stationery he has would be 55 approximately.
