Solution

Let's assume the cost of a pencil is represented by the variable "p" and the cost of a pen is represented by the variable "x".

According to the given situation, the cost of a pen is two and a half times the cost of a pencil.

So, we can express this situation as the equation:

x = 2.5p

This is a linear equation in two variables, where "x" represents the cost of a pen and "p" represents the cost of a pencil.
