Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.
Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.
The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.
(8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)
-4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)
The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.
One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.
The mother is older than her daughter by
years
Step-by-step explanation:
Mother is m years old, and she is four times as old as her daughter.
we need to find how much older the mother is than her daughter
- Put the age of mother equal 4 times the age of daughter
- Find the age of daughter
- Subtract the age of daughter from the age of mother to find how much older the mother than her daughter
∵ The mother's age = m
∵ Her age is four times as old as her daughter
∴ m = 4 × daughter's age
- Divide both sides by 4
∴
= daughter's age
- Subtract the daughter's age from her mother's age
∵ The difference of their ages = m -
- Change 1 m to a fraction of denominator 4, then 1 m = 
∴ The difference between their ages =
-
= 
∴ The mother is older than her daughter by
years
The mother is older than her daughter by
years
