Answer:

5 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the price of a package of pens n, and the cost of a box of paper r.

3n+r=26

2n+7r=49

Multiply the first equation by 7:

21n+7r=182

Subtract the second equation from the first:

19n=133

Divide both sides by 19 to isolate n:

n=7

Plug this back in to find the value of a box of paper:

3(7)+r=26

21+r=26

r=5

Hope this helps!
