You may edit the question. Maybe convert formulae to the same formula notation
Let # pens = x
#pencils = y
7x + 3y = 564 equation(1)
x + y = 108 equation(2)
frome1(2)
x = 108 - y substituting this in equation(1)
7(108 -Y) + 3Y = 564
756 - 7Y + 3Y = 564
756 - 4Y = 564
-4Y = 564 -756
- 4Y = - 192
Y = 192/4
Y = 48
ANSWER: NUMBER OF PENCILS= 48
NUMBERS OF PEN= 60
