Jesse bought 10 more pencils than erasers. A pencil costs $0.15, and an eraser costs $0.22. He paid a total of $4.46. How many erasers did Jesse buy?


I dont understand this problem havent done it in a long time.
number of erasers ---- x
number of pencils ----- x+10

22x + 14(x+10) = 446

solve for x
