    Answer:
    500 and 900
    Step-by-step explanation:
    3(x – 300) + 2(x + 100) = 3300 ← distribute parenthesis
    3x – 900 + 2x + 200 = 3300
    5x – 700 = 3300 ( add 700 to both sides )
    5x = 4000 ( divide both sides by 5 )
    x = 800
    Then
    cost of book = x – 300 = 800 – 300 = 500
    cost of pen = x + 100 = 800 + 100 = 900
