Answer:

The length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

let "x" be the length of the pencils

let "y" be the length of the crayons

4 * x + 3 * y = 20.9

5 * x + 4 * y = 26.5 => x = (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5

Replacing:

4 * (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5 + 3 * y = 20.9

21.2 - 3.2 * y + 3 * y = 20.9

-0.2 * y = 20.9 - 21.2

y = -0.3 / -0.2

y = 1.5

now for x:

x = (26.5 - 4 * 1.5) / 5

x = 4.1

This means that the length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

11) -x + y = -1 ; 2x - y = 0
y = -1 + x ; 2x - (-1+x) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 1 - x = 0 ⇒x = -1 
y = -1 + (-1) ⇒ y = -2

12) -2x + y = -20 ; 2x + y = 48
y = -20 + 2x ; 2x + (-20 + 2x) = 48 ⇒ 2x -20 + 2x = 48 ⇒ 4x = 48 + 20
                      4x = 68 ⇒ x = 68/4 ⇒ x = 17
y = -20 + 2(17) ⇒ y = -20 + 34 ⇒ y = 14

13) 3x -y = -2 ; -2x + y = 3
y = 3 + 2x ; 3x - (3 + 2x) = -2 ⇒ 3x - 3 - 2x = -2 ⇒ x = -2 + 3 ⇒ x = 1
y = 3 + 2(1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5

14) x - y = 4 ; x - 2y = 10
x = 4 + y ; (4 + y) - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 + y - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 - y = 10 
                  ⇒ -y = 10 - 4 ⇒ -y = 6 ⇒  y = -6
x = 4 + (-6) ⇒ x = 4 - 6 ⇒ x = -2

15) x + 2y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 17
x = 5 - 2y ; 3(5-2y) + 2y = 17 ⇒ 15 - 6y + 2y = 17 ⇒ -4y = 17 - 15
               ⇒ -4y = 2 ⇒ y = -2/4 ⇒ y = -1/2
x = 5 - 2(-1/2) ⇒ x = 5 + 2/2 ⇒ x = 5 + 1 ⇒ x = 6
