Answer:

1 pencil = $0.75

1 eraser = $0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

4p+2e=3.58                                 1p+6(0.29)=2.49

1p+6e=2.49                                   1p+1.74=2.49

p=2.49-6e                                     1p=0.75

4(2.49-6e)+2e=3.58                       p=0.75

9.96-24e+2e=3.58

9.96-22e=3.58

-22e=-6.38

e=0.29
