Let A = paint brush and E = pencils.
\n" ); document.write( "E = 6A
\n" ); document.write( "A + E = 63
\n" ); document.write( "By substitution, we get
\n" ); document.write( "a + 6A = 63
\n" ); document.write( "7A = 63
\n" ); document.write( "A = 9
\n" ); document.write( "E = 54
\n" ); document.write( "9 paint brushes and 54 pencils.
\n" ); document.write( "
