A. Awareness
a. Review

Good morning class! Good morning Sir!

(Checking of attendance)
(Checking of assignment)

Before we proceed to our next lesson this

afternoon. Let us have first a review on our
previous topic last meeting.

I will give you a very short activity as a sort of

review.

Directions: Find the equation in solving for x

in terms of y and in solving for y in terms of x.
For items 1 – 3, find the equation in solving x Students do as told
and for 4 – 5, the equation in solving for y.
1. x + 2y = 8 X=? 1. x = 8 – 2y

2. 3x + y = 9 X=? 2. x = 9 – y
3
3. x – y = 5 X=?
3. x = 5 + y
4. 4x + 3y = 7 Y=?
4. y = 7 – 4x
5. x + 4y = 10 Y=? 3
5. y = 10 – x

(verifying the answers of the students)

Do you still have any clarification class? None Sir!

b. Motivation

Now class, you have learned already on how to

find the equation in solving for the value of
one variable (x) in terms of the other variable
(y).
I have here a pair of equations;

x+ y = 6 eq. 1
2x – 3y = 2 eq. 2

Class what does this equal sign mean in this

equation x + y = 6? It means that x + y is equal to 6.
Very good!

Another idea? It means that the left side of equation is equal

to the right side of the equation.
Very good!

How could we know that x + y is equal to 6? We have to find the value of x and the value of
y and add them together.

That is right!

By applying your knowledge on our previous

topic, we can find the equation for solving x in
terms of y which is x = 6 – y and in the same
manner, y = 6 – x.

Now class, do you know on how to find the

value of x having the having the second
equation 2x – 3y = 2? No, Sir!

In the same manner, do you know on how to

find the value of y having the second equation No, Sir!
2x – 3y = 2?

Do you know on how to solve for x and for y

by substitution method? No, Sir!

c. Presentation

So be with me this afternoon class as I discuss

to you on how to solve systems of linear Solving Systems of Linear Equations by
equations by substitution method. Substitution

d. Statement of the Aim

 simplify linear equations to get the
solution sets;
 construct linear equations and solve for
the solution sets;
 discuss the importance of equality in
the society.

B. Activity

I will group you into 5 groups.

Each member of the group should cooperate in
doing your activity.
 Directions: On the following pairs of
equations, solve for the value of x and for
the value of y by following the steps.
a.) Solve for one variable (say x) in terms of
the other variable (say y) in one of the
equations.
b.) Substitute the value of the variable (x)
found in the first step to the same variable
(x) of the second equation. Simplify and
solve the resulting equation to find the value
of the variable (x).
c.) Substitute the value obtained in second
step to any of the original equations to find
the value of the other variable (y).
Students do as told
Group 1 Expected answers from the students.
2x + y = -5 eq. 1
2x + 3y = 10 eq. 2 x = -25/4 ; y = 15/2

Group 2
2y – x = 5 eq. 1
2y + x = -10 eq. 2 x = -15/2 ; y = -5/4

Group 3
x + y = 9 eq. 1
x – y = 5 eq. 1 x=7;y=2

Group 4
x + 3y = 9 eq. 1
2x – y = -4 eq. x = -3/7 ; y = 22/7

Group 5
x – 4y = 1
x + y = -4 x = -3 ; y = -1

C. Analysis

Let us now check your solutions and answers.

Let us begin checking the solution and answer
of the group 1. The first group has this pair of
equations;

2x + y = -5 eq. 1
2x + 3y = 10 eq. 2

We have to follow the steps to obtain the

correct solutions and answer.

What is again the step number 1?

The step number 1 states that, “solve for one
variable in terms of the other variable of the
equations.
Okay!
By following the step 1, we can obtain
equation for finding y in terms of x for the
equation 1, we have

y = -5 – 2x .

Since we already have this equation for finding

y, what is then the next step?
Substitute the value of the variable found in the
first step to the same variable of the second
equation. Simplify and solve the resulting
Very good! equation to find the value of the variable.

Since we have obtained the value of y in the

first equation which is equal to – 5 – 2x or y =
-5 – 2x.
What will we do to this equation y = -5 – 2x
according to the second step?
We will substitute it the y in the second
That is right! equation.
We have this second equation; 2x + 3y = 10.
We will substitute now the value of y in the
first equation which is -5 – 2x to the y in the
second equation which is 2x + 3y = 10.

2x + 3y = 10 ; y = -5 -2x

In this certain equation, what property we can

use to simplify the equation?
2x + 3(-5-2x) = 10 We can use the distribution property of
Very good! multiplication.
By applying the distributive property, we can
obtain;
2x – 15 – 6x = 10

What is then the next thing to do to further

simplify the equation? We will combine like terms.

Very good!
By combining like terms, we can obtain.

-4x – 15 = 10

What shall we now to find the value of x?

What property can use? To solve for x, we will apply the addition
property of equality.
That’s right!
Why is there a need to apply the addition
property of equality?
We need to apply the addition property of
equality to remove the -15 in the left side of the
equation so that -4x will be isolated.
By applying the addition property of equality
in this equation; -4x – 15 = 10
-4x – 15 + 15 = 10+ 15
The -15 and +15 will be cancelled out since it
equivalent to 0.
So we now have -4x = 10 + 15
-4x = 25
Finally, what property we can apply to get the
value of x?
To get the value of x, we will apply the
Very good! division property of equality.

We have to divide both sides of the equation

by negative four to isolate x in the left side of
the equation.

-4x = 25
-4 -4

x = -25
4

Since, we have already obtained the value of x

which is -25/4, how could we find now the
value of y? We can find the value of y by doing the last
step?
What does the last step state?
It states that “Substitute the value obtained in
second step to any of the original equations to
So we can use either the first equation or the find the value of the other variable”.
second equation.
Let us try to use the first original equation;

2x + y = -5 eq.1
2(-25) + y = -5
4
-25 + y = -5
2
y = -5 + 25
2
y = -10 + 25
2
y = 15
2
Let us use the second equation if we can get
the same answer with the first equation.

2x + 3y = 10
2(-25) + 3y = 10
4
-25 + 3y = 10
2
2(3y = 10 + 25 )2
2
6y = 20 + 25
6y = 45
6 6
y = 45 or 15
6 2
Since we have already obtained the values of x
and y, how could we know then if our answers
are correct? We will check by substituting the values of x
and y in any of the original equation.
Okay, let us try.
We will use the first equation.

2x + y = -5
2(-25) + 15 = -5
4 2
-25 + 15 = -5
2 2
-10 = -5
2
-5 = -5
Since, -5 is equal to -5, then our answers are
correct.

By following the same steps for number 2 to 5.

2. 2y – x = 5 eq. 1
2y + x = -10 eq. 2

2y – x = 5
x = -5y + 2y

2y + x = -10
2y +(-5 + 2y) = -10
4y = -10 + 5
y = -5
4

Second equation

2y – x = 5
2(-5) – x = 5
4
-x = 5 + 5
2

x = -15
2

3. x + y = 9 eq. 1
x – y = 5 eq. 2

x=9–y
9–y–y=5
-2y = -4
y=2

x+2=9
x=9–2
x=7
4. x + 3y = 9 eq. 1
2x – y = -4 eq. 2

x = 9 – 3y
2x – y = -4
2(9 – 3y) – y = -4
18 – 7y = -4
-7y = -22

y = 22
7

x + 3 (22) = 9
7
x + 66 = 9
7
x = -3
7
5. x – 4y = 1
x + y = -4

x = 1 + 4y

x + y = -4
1 + 4y + y = -4
5y = -4 – 1

y = -1

x – 4y = 1
x – 4(-1) = 1
x+4=1
x = -3

D. Abstraction

In your activity a while ago, you were able to

solve the values of x and y.
Yes sir.
Class if you are going to analyze the steps
from first step to last step, what common way
you have done to get the values of x and y?
The common way we have done in getting the
values of x and y was substitution.
So, what do you mean about substitution? Or
what substitution is all about?

Substitution means that we have to replace the

Very good. value of a certain variable with the value of the
other variable to get its value.
Values Integration

A while ago class, we have discussed about the

solving systems of linear equations by
substitution.

What word can you associate with the word

equation?
I can associate it with equality sir.
Class, in connection to our real life situation,
how are we going to promote equality and
prevent inequality?

I can promote equality and prevent inequality

by being fair to everybody in everything that I
do. Equality begins with being fair in just a
simple action. It begins in us.
