Answer 2

Let the cost of a notebook to be = ₹ x

Let the cost of a pen to be = ₹ y

According to the question,

The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen.

i.e., Cost of a notebook = 2×Cost of a pen

x = 2×y

x = 2y

x-2y = 0

x-2y = 0 is the linear equation in two variables to represent the statement ‘The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen’.
