    Price of Marker = $ 0.5

    Price of box = $ 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assuming you are looking for the price of a marker

    let x be a price of marker and y Price of the box

    equation 1 6x+y = 5

    equation 2 24x+y=14

    Taking equation 1 y = 5-6x

    substistute y in equation 2

    24x + (5-6x) = 14

    24x-6x=14-5

    18x=9

    x=9/18 = 0.5

    x = 0.5

    y=5-6 (0.5) = 2

    x (Price of Marker) = $ 0.5

    y (Price of box) = $ 2
