    Answer: 4 Notebooks

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The number of notebooks is x, the number of markers is 2x+3.

    Since the price per notebook is $5 we can write it as 5x, And the price per marker is $2, we can write that as 4x+6

    5x+4x+6=42

    9x=36

    x=4

    so he bought 4 notebooks and 11 markers.

    CHECK: 4*5=20 and 11*2=22 20+22=42
