Let +a+ = the cost of 1 pencil
Let +b+ = the cost of 1 book
---------------------------
(1) +6b+%2B+10a+=+17000+
(2) +3b+%2B+22a+=+17000+
----------------------
Multiply both sides of (2) by +2+
and subtract (1) from (2)
(2) +6b+%2B+44a+=+34000+
(1) +-6b+-+10a+=+-17000+
-------------------------
+34a+=+17000+
+a+=+500+
and
(1) +6b+%2B+10a+=+17000+
(1) +3b+%2B+5a+=+8500+
(1) +3b+%2B+5%2A500+=+8500+
(1) +3b+=+8500+-+2500+
(1) +3b+=+6000+
(1) +b+=+2000+
