Answer:
Pencils = 325 ; Pens = 975 ; Markers = 650
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Number of Pencils = x
Number of pens = y
Number of markers = z
2 times as many markers as pencils
z = 2x
3 times as many pens as pencils
y = 3x
x + y + z = 1950
Write z and y in terms of x in the equation :
x + 3x + 2x = 1950
6x = 1950
Divide both sides by 6
6x / 6 = 1950 / 6
x = 325
Number of pencils = 325
Pens = 3 * 325 = 975
Markers = 2 * 325 = 650
Pencils = 325 ; Pens = 975 ; Markers = 650

Answer:
(x, y) = (-5, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of y are the same, so we can eliminate y by subtracting one equation from the other. Here, we choose to subtract the first from the second, so that the coefficient of x ends up positive.
(-5x +5y) -(-6x +5y) = (-5) -(0)
x = -5 . . . . . . simplify
-6(-5) +5y = 0 . . . . . . substitute x into the first equation
6 +y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
y = -6 . . . . . . subtract 6
The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-5, -6).
30 because 18 and the plain goes into 12 which is 30
