Answer:

Price of Marker = $ 0.5

Price of box = $ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are looking for the price of a marker

let x be a price of marker and y Price of the box

equation 1  6x+y= 5

equation 2 24x+y=14

Taking equation 1   y= 5-6x

substistute y in equation 2

24x+(5-6x)=14

24x-6x=14-5

18x=9

x=9/18= 0.5

x= 0.5

y=5-6(0.5)=2

x(Price of Marker) = $ 0.5

y(Price of box) = $ 2
