Answer 1

There are some corrections in your question. They are as follows :-

Five times the price of a pen is ₹17 more than three times its price. Find the price of the pen.


➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖


$\large{Solution}$ :-


Let the price of the pen be ₹x

5 times the price of the pen = 5x

Three times the cost of the pen = 3x


According to the question,

5x = 3x - 17

➾ 5x - 3x = 17

➾ 2x = 17

➾ x = $\dfrac{17}{2}$

➾ x = 8.5



∴ The cost of the pen is ₹$\bold{8.5}$


➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖


Verification :-

5x = 3x - 17

➾ 5x - 3x = 17

➾ 2x = 17

➾ 2 × 8.5 = 17

➾ 17 = 17

∴ LHS = RHS ✔✔
