Answer:

If 2p + 6a = $14

and 3p + 9a = $21

 then the following would also be true:

 1p + 3a = $7

 

If p = pear and a = apple, how much would each cost?  The unit prices can be determined by looking at the pattern. You can use multiplication to solve the problem.  

 For example, 1p + 3a*2 = $7

 

p = $1/each

a = $2/each or $6 total
