Let x be the price of each pen and y be the price of each pencil. From the given, the equations that are described are,
                            6x + 8y = 8.50
                             4x + 4y = 5
Solving for x and y simultaneously gives an answer of x = 0.75 and y = 0.5. 

Thus, each pen costs $0.75 and each pencil costs $0.50.

Give a direct proof that the sum an even integer and an odd integer is odd.
mina [271]
Even integer: 2 x a, where a is a  natural number without 0;
Odd integer : 2 x b + 1 , where b is a natural number;
So, 2 x a + 2 x b+ 1 = 2 x ( a + b ) + 1, which is an odd integer.
