5 pencils and 7 pens together cost 50, whereas 7 pencils and 5 pens together cost 46. Find the cost of one pencil and that of one pen.
Answer:
Let 1 pencil costs Rs.x and 1 pen costs Rs.y.
According to the question, the algebraic expression cab be represented as;
5x + 7y = 50
7x + 5y = 46
For, 5x + 7y = 50 or x = (50-7y)/5, the solutions are;
For 7x + 5y = 46 or x = (46-5y)/7, the solutions are;
Hence, the graphical representation is as follows;
From the graph, it is can be seen that the given lines intersect each other at point (3, 5).
So, the cost of a pencil is 3/- and cost of a pen is 5/-.
