Answer:

500 and 900

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 300) + 2(x + 100) = 3300 ← distribute parenthesis

3x - 900 + 2x + 200 = 3300

5x - 700 = 3300 ( add 700 to both sides )

5x = 4000 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 800

Then

cost of book = x - 300 = 800 - 300 = 500

cost of pen = x + 100 = 800 + 100 = 900
