The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen. Write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement. (Take the cost of a notebook to be Rs x and that of a pen to be Rs. y)

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Let the cost of pen be y and the cost of notebook be x

As per the question,

Cost of a notebook = Twice the cost of pen = 2y

So,

2y = x

x – 2y = 0

This is a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement
