Answer 1

hii
here is your answer

Let the price of one pen be Rs x.
According to the question:
5x = 3x + 17
or, 5x − 3x = 17                    [Transposing 3x to the L.H.S.]
or, 2x = 17
or, 2x/2 = 17/2                        [Dividing both the sides by 2]
or, x = 8.50
∴ Price of one pen = Rs 8.50
