## PSEB Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 4 Linear Equations in Two Variables Ex 4.1

Question 1.
The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen. Write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement.
(Take the cost of a notebook to be and that of a pen to be ₹ y.)
Let the cost of a notebook be ₹ x and the cost of a pen be ₹ y.
Then, according to the given data, the cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen.
∴ x = 2y
Thus, x = 2y, i.e., x – 2y = 0 is the required linear equation in two variables.

Question 2.
Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c in each case:
(i) 2x + 3y = 9.3$$\overline{5}$$
2x + 3y = 9.3$$\overline{5}$$
∴ 2x + 3y – 9.3$$\overline{5}$$ = 0
Here, a = 2, b = 3 and c = – 9.3$$\overline{5}$$.

(ii) x – $$\frac{y}{5}$$ – 10 = 0
x – $$\frac{y}{5}$$ – 10 = 0
∴x – $$\frac{1}{5}$$y – 10 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = – $$\frac{1}{5}$$ and c = – 10.

(iii) – 2x + 3y = 6
– 2x + 3y = 6
∴ – 2x + 3y – 6 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = – 3 and c = – 6.

(iv) x = 3y
x = 3y
∴ x – 3y + 0 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = – 3 and c = 0.

(v) 2x = – 5y
2x = – 5y
∴ 2x + 5y + 0 = 0
Here, a = 2, b = 5 and c = 0

(vi) 3x + 2 = 0
3x + 2 = 0
∴ 3x + oy – 2 = 0
Here, a = 3, b = 1 and c = – 2

(vii) y – 2 = 0
