conversations.value: Can you guide me through solving this problem: A pen and pencil have a total cost of $6. If the pen costs twice as much as the pencil, what is the cost of the pen?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: Let x be the cost of the pencil.
  If the pen costs 2 times the cost of the pencil, then it costs 2x.
  Adding the cost of the pen and pencil we get 2x + x = 3x
  Since the total cost is $6 then 3x = $6 therefore x = $6 / 3 = $2
  One pen is equal to 2 * x which is 2 * $2 = $4
