Apples = X

Pears = Y

3x+2y = 0.60

pears cost 2X-0.05 replace Y with this:

3X +2(2x-0.05) = 0.60

Simplify:

3X + 4X-0.10 = 0.60

Simplify:

7X -0.10 = 0.60

Add 0.70 to each side:

7X = 0.70

Divide both sides by 7:

X = 0.70 / 7

X = 0.10


Apples cost 0.10 each.

Pears cost 2x-0.05 = 2(0.10) - 0.05 = 0.20 - 0.05 = 0.15 each
