Answer:
Lets no of ball pens be x
no of gel pens = x+6
Total pens = 24
x+x+6=24
2x=24-6
2x=18
x=9
no of ball pens = 9
no of gel pens= x+6 = 9 + 6 = 15

In this question we have to use simple linear equation. According to the simple linear equation, let us keep the gel pens as x . x-6+x =24; 2x-6=24 ; 2x = 24+6 ; 2x =30 ; x = 30/2 = 15. X =15.
Gel pens = x-6 = 15-6 = 9. Thefore Samir bought 9 gel pens.
