Let the price of single algebra book = x
and the price of geometry book = y

Then equation (1) = 2x+3y=34
3y= (34 - 2x)
y= (34 - 2x)/3

And equation (2) = 3x + 2y=36

put value of y in equation (2)

3x + 2 (34-2x)/3= 36
9x + 2 (34-2x)=108
9x + 68 - 4x=108
5x=40
x=8
put x=8 in equation ( 1 )

2(8) + 3y= 34
16+3y=34
3y=18
y=6
Hence, price of algebra book = 8$ and price of geometry book=6$

Please it’s literature I need it now
Ainat [17]
A serpent and an elephant. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable [unending] serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness.
