Question

the cost of a notebook is 5 times the cost of a calendar. write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement.

Answer 1

Let the cost of the notebook = x
and cost of the calendar = y

Cost of notebook = 5×cost of calendar
=> x=5y
=> x - 5y = 0 (required linear equation in two variables)

Answer 2

Let the cost of calendar be x
And the cost of notebook be y

y=5x

Hope it helps you
