    Each eraser costs $2.00

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Make an equation

    4 + 5a = 14

    4 = shows that cost for one magazine

    5a = shows that 5 erasers cost a each

    14 = total price

    Step 2: Solve for a

    Subtract 4 from both sides: 4 + 5a - 4 = 14 - 4

    Divide by 5 from both sides: 5a / 5 = 10 / 5

    Answer: a = 2
