Question

Cost of small pizza is two and half times the cost of regular burger. Express this statement in the form of linear equation in two varibles

Answer 1

Let the cost of pizza be x and that of burger be y,
Thus we get :
2 1/2 x y = x
= 5y/2 = x
= 5y =2x

Hope that helps !!

Answer 2

Answer : Let Cost of small pizza = x And Cost of regular burger = y And Given information : Cost of a small pizza is two and half times the cost of a regular burger . So we get x = 212y⇒x = 4 + 12y⇒x = 52y⇒2x = 5y
