Let c and n represent the numbers of pencil and pen boxes, respectively
.. 3c +2n = 6.00
.. 2c +4n = 8.00

You can halve the second equation and subtract it from the first to get
.. (3c +2n) -(c +2n) = 6.00 -4.00
.. 2c = 2.00
.. c = 1.00

Then
.. 1.00 +2n = 4.00 . . . . . half the original second equation with c filled n
.. 2n = 3.00
.. n = 1.50

A box of pencils costs $1.00; a box of pens costs $1.50.

The system shown has the unique solution (2, y, z). Solve the system and select the values that complete the solution. y = 0 y =
madreJ [45]
So we are given a system:
3x-2y+3z=0\\
-3x - 5y - 5z= -21
Substitute x = 2 we get the system:
-2y+3z=-6\\
- 5y - 5z= -15
Multiply the first equation by -5 and the second by 2 we get the system:
10y-15z=30\\
- 10y - 10z= -30
Adding the two equations we get :
-25z=0\text{ then}z=0.
We find the value of y by using any of the other equations like this:
-2y=-6\\y=3.
Final solution:
z=0,y=3
