Hey
Here is your answer,
Let the cost of pencils be x and erasers be y.
5x+4y=13
9x+5y=19
Multiply first equation with 5.
➡25x+20y=65
Multiply second equation with 4.
➡36x+20y=76
Solve both the equation,
25x+20y=65
36x+20y=76
---------------------
-11x = -11
x=1
5x+4y=13
4y=13-5
4y=8
y=2
Therefore the cost of pencil is rs. 1 and eraser is rs.2
Price of 6 pencils and 3 erases = 6x1+3x2
=6+6
=12
Hope it helps you!
