The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to formulate a linear equation based on the relationship between the cost of a notebook and the cost of a pen. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables**: - Let the cost of a notebook be represented by \( x \). - Let the cost of a pen be represented by \( y \). 2. **Understand the Relationship**: - According to the problem, the cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ x = 2y \] 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: - To express this relationship in the standard form of a linear equation, we can rearrange the equation: \[ x - 2y = 0 \] 4. **Final Equation**: - The linear equation in two variables that represents the given condition is: \[ x - 2y = 0 \]
