Let pen be x and let pencil be y
5x+4y=70
3x+7y=65
Multiply the first equation by 2
10x+8y=140.......(1)
Multiply the second equation by 1
3x+7y=65….......(2)
subtract 2 from 1
solving them we get 7x+y=75.......(3) which then gives y=75-7x
3x+7(75-7x)=65
=>X=10
substituting in the equation we get y= is $5
