Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Let +a+ = the cost of 1 pencil

Let +b+ = the cost of 1 book

---------------------------

(1) +6b+%2B+10a+=+17000+

(2) +3b+%2B+22a+=+17000+

----------------------

Multiply both sides of (2) by +2+

and subtract (1) from (2)

(2) +6b+%2B+44a+=+34000+

(1) +-6b+-+10a+=+-17000+

-------------------------

+34a+=+17000+

+a+=+500+

and

(1) +6b+%2B+10a+=+17000+

(1) +3b+%2B+5a+=+8500+

(1) +3b+%2B+5%2A500+=+8500+

(1) +3b+=+8500+-+2500+

(1) +3b+=+6000+

(1) +b+=+2000+
