Question

Five times the price of a pen is rupees 20 more than three times its price. Find the price of the pen.​

Answer 1

let x be the price of the pen

5x=20+3x

5x-3x=20

2x=20

x=20/2

x=10

therefore price of the pen is 10 rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the pen= x

Five times the price of the pen = x *5 = 5x

20 rupees more than the price of the pen=

5x + 20

= 5x = 5x + 20

=5x + 5x = 20

=10x = 20

=x = 20/10

=x = 2

Therefore the price of the pen is 2rupees.
