Question

If 7 pencils would cost you rs.6 more than 5 pencils, then find the cost of 10 pencils

Answer 1

Let x be the cost of the pencil ✏️.
7x=6+5x
12x=6
x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of pencils = x

Cost of 7 pencils = 7x

Rs.6 more than 5 pencils =Rs. 6 + 5x

According to the question :

=> 7x = Rs. 6 + 5x

=> 7x - 5x = Rs. 6

=> 2x = Rs. 6

=> x = Rs. 6/2

=> x Rs.3

Cost of 10 pencils = 10x = Rs. 3*10 = Rs.30
