Let, the cost of a belt = x
cost of a wallet = y

Then, system of equations would be:
x + y = 42
7x + 4y = 213

Multiply 1st equation by 4, 
4x + 4y = 168
Substitute it from 2nd equation, 
3x = 45
x = 15

Now, substitute it in 1st equation, 
15 + y = 42
y = 42 - 15 = 27

In short, Belt costs $15 and wallet costs $27

Hope this helps!
