Answer:
Let the price of the maths book be m and price of the novel book be n
Given that,
Total cost of the books is $54
The price of math book is $8 more than 3 times the price of novel book.
we get,
The system of equation as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} m+n=54 \\ m=8+3n \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence the system of equation to determine the price of the maths and novel book is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} m+n=54 \\ m=8+3n \end{gathered}[/tex]
