Let's assume that "m" represents the cost of a pack of markers and "p" represents the cost of a pack of pencils.

According to the given information, Steve sold 10 packs of markers and 3 packs of pencils for a total of $46. This can be represented by the equation:

10m + 3p = 46   ----(1)

The next day, he sold 9 packs of markers and 9 packs of pencils for a total of $54, which can be represented by the equation:

9m + 9p = 54   ----(2)

To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination.

Let's solve it using the method of substitut...
