  • Quadratic equations
  • Simultaneous equations

let

  • cost of ruler = r
  • cost of pencil, p = $8

4r + p

2r + 4p

  • Equate

4r + p = 2r + 4p

4r + 8 = 2r + 4(8)

4r + 8 = 2r + 32

4r - 2r = 32 - 8

2r = 24

r = 24/2

r = $12

Therefore, the cost of a ruler cost if a pencil cost $8 is $12
