Let x and y be the numbers;
We have x + 2y = 9 and 2x + y = 21;
Then, x = 9 - 2y;
Finally, 2(9-2y) + y = 21 ;
18 - 4y + y = 21;
18 - 3y = 21;
-3y = 3;
y = - 1;
x = 9 - 2× (-1);
x = 9 + 2 ;
x = 11;

Cost of book (x) exceeds twice the cost of pen (y) by Rs 10. This
Eddi Din [679]

The relationship between the cost of books and pens is an illustration of linear equation.

The linear equation is (a) x - 2y - 10 =0

From the question, we have:

x exceeds 2 times y by 10

Rewrite as:

x exceeds 2y by 10

Exceed means plus (+)

So, we have:

x = 2y + 10

Equate the above equation to 0

x - 2y - 10 =0

Hence, the required equation is (a) x - 2y - 10 =0
