17 = -13 - 8x .....add 13 to both sides
13 + 17 = -8x
30 = -8x...now divide both sides by -8
-30/8 = x...reduce
- 15/4 or -3 3/4 = x <===

Answer:
$35
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to divide the total money raised by the amount sold
16,625/475=35
each ticket was $35
and to make sure its correct you can always multiply the amount of 1 ticket to the amount sold
475*35=16,625
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
