and the total cost of typing is y
A/Q

first typed page worth rupees 10
and the rest of it @ 5rupees

y = 5 ( x -1) + 10

y = 5x +5

required equation is
y - 5x = 5

Charge for the first page = 10Rs
Charge for the remaining pages = 5Rs
The total pages to be typed = x
The cost to type the total pages = y
The linear equation is
5x+10=y
