Find the number. Three rulers and two pens have a total cost of R 21,00. One ruler and one pen have a total cost of R 8,00. How much does a ruler cost and how much does a pen cost? A man runs to the bus stop and back in 15 minutes. His speed on the way to the bus stop is 5 km/h and his speed on the way back is 4 km/h. Find the distance to the bus stop. Zanele and Piet skate towards each other on a straight path. They set off 20 km apart. Zanele skates at 15 km/h and Piet at 10 km/h. How far will Piet have skated when they reach each other? When the price of chocolates is increased by R 10, we can buy ve fewer chocolates for R 300. What was the price of each chocolate before the price was increased?

6. ' & #& ( . Answer 5: 1. Add the two equations together to solve for &: -& ( '' & $' ( !&#'' & #, 3& ( + & 3 & & $ Substitute value of & into second equation: !"$%#'' & #, #'' & #) ' & !
2. Substitute value of ' into rst equation: $+ & !& ( "&#!% '& & $! & & , Substitute value of & into second equation: ' & ,#! & !
3. $- & '& # ' ' & '&#$- Substitute the value of ' into rst equation: -&#,$ & '"'&#$-% -&#,$ & 3&#*$ !& & $+ & & * Substitute value of & into second equation: ' & '"*%#$- & #!
4. !' & & ( . & & !'#. Substitute value of & into second equation: ,' & !"!'#.% # ,, ,' & ,'#$)#,, +' & #)+ No solution ( ' $ & $ ! & # $$and ' ! & $ ! & ( ,. These lines have the same gradient therefore they are parallel and will never intersect - hence there is no solution.) Answer 6: 1. Let & be the number. 5 - . & & $ ' & ( * !$& & .& ( $!+ $'& & $!+ & & $!+ $'
2. Let the price of rulers be $x$ and the price of pens be ' 5 '& ( !' & !$ and & ( ' & . From the second equation: & & . # ' Substitute the value of & into the rst equation: '". # '% ( !' & !$ !,#'' ( !' & !$ ' & ' Substitute the value of ' into the second equation: & ( ' & . & & * Therefore each ruler costs R 5 and each pen costs R 3.
