Answer 1

The price of one pen is $1.50.

What are the linear equations?

6p + 3h = 21 equation 1

2p + 4h = 19 equation 2

Where:

• p = number of pens
• h = number of highlighters

What is the price of one pen?

In order to determine the price of one pen, take the following steps:

Multiply equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 3

24p + 12h = 84 equation 3

6p + 12h = 57 equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3

27 = 18p

p = $1.50
