उत्तर
Let the unit price for each pen = Rs. x
and the unit price for each pencil = Rs. y
According to given information, we have
9x + 5y = 32 ....(i)
7x + 8y = 29 ....(ii)
Multiplying eqn. (i) by 8 and eqn. (ii) by 5, we get
72x + 40y = 256 ....(iii)
35x + 40y = 145 ....(iv)
Subtracting eqn. (iv) from eqn. (iii), we get
37x = 111
⇒ x = 3
⇒ 9(3) + 5y = 32
⇒ 27 + 5y = 32
⇒ 5y = 5
⇒ y = 1
Thus, the unit price for each pen is rs. 3 and that for each pencil is Rs.1.

For solving pair of equation, in this exercise use the method of elimination by equating coefficients :
13 + 2y = 9x
3y = 7x
Solve for x and y :
`[ y + 7 ]/5 = [ 2y - x ]/4 + 3x - 5`
`[ 7 - 5x ]/2 + [ 3 - 4y ]/6 = 5y - 18`
Solve :
11(x - 5) + 10(y - 2) + 54 = 0
7(2x - 1) + 9(3y - 1) = 25
Solve the following pairs of equations:
`(3)/(5) x - (2)/(3) y + 1` = 0
