Let n = cost of 1 notebook
Let p = cost of 1 pencil
Then,
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
You can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute into the remaining equation.
3n + 4p = 8.5
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
Multiply the top equation by -2 so that the p-containing terms cancel each other out:
-2(3n + 4p = 8.5)
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
-n + 0 = -2.5
So after dividing both sides by -1, we see that n = $2.5. Plugging into the first equation gives p = $0.25.
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5

Answer:the 57th term is 78
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is an arithmetic sequence. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = - 6
d =3/2
n = 57
We want to determine the value if the 57th term, T57. Therefore,
T57 = - 6 + (57 - 1) ×3/2
T57 = - 6 + 56 × 3/2 = - 6 + 84
T57 = 78
Emma’s statement makes sense and Charles’ doesn’t, bcuz when you say 0.75 it should be 75 tenths, because it’s less than a whole number, but charles said 7 and 5 tenths, if it’s 7 and 5 tenths, it would be 7.5.
