You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5
Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75
So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!

Answer:
The result gives the equation: 9x = -7
solution: (-7/9, 4/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
6 x + 2y = − 2
and
3 x − 2y = − 5
add together
6x + 3x + 2y - 2y = -2 + -5
9x + 0 = -7
9x = -7
then x = -7/9
and y = -3x - 1:
y = -3*(-7/9) - 1
y = 7/3 - 1 = 4/3
solution: (-7/9, 4/3)
-----------------------------------------
6x+2y= -2 and 3x−2y =−5
6x + 3x + 2y - 2y = -2 + -5
First, let's work with the denominator alone:
4⁻⁴ = 1 / 4⁴ = 1/256 .
The original problem is the reciprocal of that = 256.
