Let x be the price of 1 pencil and y be the price of 1 pen,

Now, According to the question

5x+7y=50......(1)

And 

7x+5y=46......(2)

Now, The points (x,y), that satisfies the equation (1) are 

X 3 -4 10
Y 5 10 0

And, The points(x,y) that satisfies the equation (2) are 

X 3 8 -2
Y 5 -2 12

The Graph,

Graph

As we can see from the Graph, both line intersects at point (3,5) that is, x = 3 and y = 5 which means cost of 1 pencil is 3 and cost of 1 pen is 5.
