Solution Steps

Step 1: Define Variables

Let \( x \) represent the number of notebooks Adele buys, and let \( y \) represent the total cost of the notebooks. The price of each notebook is given as \( 3 \).

Step 2: Calculate Total Cost

The total cost \( y \) can be expressed as: \[ y = 3x \]

Step 3: Example Calculation

For the example where \( x = 5 \): \[ y = 3 \times 5 = 15 \]

Final Answer

The values of \( x \) and \( y \) are: \[ \boxed{x = 5} \] \[ \boxed{y = 15} \]
