A multiplication equation is an equation involving a product of a variable and a number. You can solve a multiplication equation
by dividing the same nonzero number on each side of the equation. The goal is the same: to isolate the variable on one side of
the equation.

 Just as we have “un-added” or “un-subtracted” to undo what had been done to a variable in an equation, we can also “un-multiply”
by dividing both sides of an equation by a number other than zero. We can also “un-divide” by multiplying both sides of the equation
by any nonzero number.
Example:
1. 4x = 124

4x = 124 4(31) = 124

If x = k, where k ³ 0 , then x = k or x = -k

I. LEARNING TARGET
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
1. Solve simple linear inequalities
II. LEARNING EXPERIENCES
A. Explore Activity: Study and answer the investigation on pages 181 - 182.

Notes: Properties of Inequalities

1. We can multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a positive number without having to reverse the inequality
sign, i.e.
𝑥 𝑦
If x ≥ y and c > 0, then cx ≥ cy and 𝑐 ≥ 𝑐
.

2. If we multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we will have to reverse
the inequality sign, i.e. 𝑥 𝑦
If x ≤ y and d < 0, then dx ≤ dy and 𝑑 ≥ 𝑑
.

Example 1: Solve each of the following inequalities and illustrate the solutions on a number line.

1. 15x < 75 2. -4x ≤ 16


Solutions:
3rd Quarter Mathematics 7 LAS 9 | P a g e
1. 15x < 75
x < 5 (since 15 > 0, no change in the inequality sign)

x<5

2. -4x ≤ 16
-1 (-4x) ≤ (-1) 16 (since -1 < 0, change in the inequality sign)
4x ≥ -16
x ≥ - 4 (since 4 > 0, no change in the inequality sign)

x ≥ -4

Other Properties of Inequalities


We now look at the other properties of inequalites.
We can add or subtract a positive number from both sides of an inequality without having to reverse the inequality sign,
i.e.
If x ≥ y and a > 0, then x + a ≥ y + a and 𝑥 − 𝑎 ≥ 𝑦 − 𝑎 .

This is true for a negative number b.


If x ≥ y and b < 0, then x + b ≥ y + b and 𝑥 − 𝑏 ≥ 𝑦 − 𝑏.

For any three numbers x, y and z,


If x > y and y > z, then x > z.

This is known as the transitive property of inequalities.


Example 2: Solve each of the following inequalities and illustrate the solutions on a number line.
1. x - 5 > 8 2. 7 – x < -3 3. x – 7 ≤ 5 – 2x
We solve linear inequalities using almost the same way as linear equations.
Solutions:
1. x - 5 > 8
x - 5 + 5 > 8 + 5 (Add 5 to both sides)
x > 13
2. 7 – x < -3
7 – x - 7 < -3 – 7 (subtract 6 from both sides)
-x < - 10
x > 10 (multiply by -1 on both sides)

3. x – 7 ≤ 5 – 2x
x – 7 + 2x ≤ 5 – 2x + 2x (add 2x to both sides)
3x – 7 ≤ 5
3x – 7 + 7 ≤ 5 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)
3x ≤ 12
x ≤4 (divide both sides by 3)

I. LEARNING TARGET
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
1. Solve simultaneous linear inequalities
II. LEARNING EXPERIENCES
A. Concept Notes

When there are two or more linear inequalities which are connected by the word ‘and’, the solution(s) to each inequaltiy
must satisfy all the others simultaneously.

That is, we should only consider the common solutions.

Example 1: Solve the inequalities 5x – 3 > 7 and 2x + 9 < 17. Illustrate the solutions on a number line.
Solution: Solving the two inequalities separately,
5x – 3 > 7 and 2x + 9 < 17
5x > 7 + 3 2x < 17 – 9
5x > 10 2x < 8
x>2 x<4

Therefore, 2 < x < 4

Example 2: Solve the inequalities 7x – 5 ≥ 3x – 1 and 3x – 8 < - 11. Illustrate the solutions on a number line.
Solution: Solving the two inequalities separately,
7x – 5 ≥ 3x – 1 and 3x – 8 < - 11
7x – 3x ≥ - 1 + 5 3x < -11 + 8
4x ≥ 4 3x < -3
x≥1 x < -1

The number line shows that the two arrows do not have any overlapping regions, i.e. there is no solution satisfying both
inequalities simulatneously. Therefore, the linear inequalities have no solutions.

Example 3: Solve the inequalities 3x – 8 ≤ 2x – 6 < 7x + 4. Illustrate the solutions on a number line.
Solution: Solving the two inequalities separately,
3x – 8 ≤ 2x – 6 and 7x + 4 > 2x – 6
3x – 2x ≤ - 6 + 8 7x – 2x > -6 – 4

I. LEARNING TARGET
At the end of the lesson the students should be able to:
1. Solve absolute linear inequalities
II. LEARNING EXPERIENCES
A. Concept Notes
The absolute of x, denoted by x , is defined by

ì x, if x > 0
ï
x = í0, if x = 0
ïî-x, if x < 0

and the absolute value of x has the following properties.


1. If x = k, where k ≥ 0, then x = k or x -k.
On the number line, we express the property as follows

We mow consider the absolute value inequality x < k. This states that the absolute value of x is less than k. What this
means on the number line is that x lies to the right of -k and to the left of k.
Showing the inequality on the number line,

Hence,
2. If x < k, where where k ≥ 0, then -k < x < k.
Similarly, for x > k, the absolute value of x is greater than k. This means that on the number line, x lies to the left of -k or to
the right of k.
Showing the inequality on the number line,

Therefore,
3.If x > k, where k ≥ 0, then x <-k or x > k.
Examples: Solve for each of the following inequalities. Illustrate the solutions on a number line.
1. x + 8 £ 2
Solution:
-2 ≤ x + 8 ≤ 2
Solving the two inequalities separately,

x + 8 ≥ -2 and x+8≤2
x≥-2-8 x≤2-8
x ≥ - 10 x≤-6
Therefore, -10 ≤ x ≤ -6

2. x - 5 ³ 1
Solution:
Solving the two inequalities separately,
x - 5 ≤ -1 and x-5≥1
x≤-1+5 x≥1+5
x≤4 x≥6
Therefore, x ≤ 4 or x ≥ 6
3rd Quarter Mathematics 7 LAS 13 | P a g e
3. 2 £ x - 6 £ 4
Solution:
x -6 ³2 and x-6 £4
Solving the two inequalities separately,
x -6 ³2 x-6 £4
x-6≤-2 or x-6≥2 -4 ≤ x - 6 ≤ 4
x≤-2+6 x≥2+6 x - 6 ≥ -4 and x-6≤4
x≤4 x≥8 x≥-4+6 x≤4+6
Therefore, x ≤ 4 or x ≥ 8 x≥2 x ≤ 10
Therefore, 2 ≤ x ≤ 10

Putting the two set of inequalities together,

Therefore, 2 ≤ x ≤ 4 and 8 ≤ x ≤ 10

1. Solve real-life problems applying the properties of equality and inequality
II. LEARNING EXPERIENCES

SNEAKER SALE
Two sporting goods stores are having sales. Addidas Philippines.com is offering Php 500 of the regular price of a pair of
sneakers. Nike Philippines.com is offering 30% off the regular price of the same pair of sneakers. Use the information below
to decide where to purchase the sneakers.

Part A: Let x represent the regular price of the sneakers at Addidas Philippines.com. Write an expression that represents
the sale price of one pair of sneakers. Then write two different expressions to represent the sale price of 3 pairs of
sneakers. What term in your expression shows the total discount on 3 pairs of sneakers? Explain your reasoning.

Part B: Let y represent the regular price of the sneakers in Nike Philippines.com. Write an expression that represents the
sale price of one pair of sneakers at Nike Philippines.com. Then write two different expressions that show how
much you would pay if your mom agreed to pay half.

Part C: At Addidas Philippines.com, customers must also pay a sales tax of 6%. Write an expression in terms of x that
represents the total purchase price of one pair of sneakers at Addidas Philippines.com.

Part D: At Nike Philippines.com, customers do not have to pay sales tax, but they must pay a flat shipping fee of Php
249.99. Write an expression in terms of y that represents the total purchase price of the sneakers at Nike
Philippines.com.

Part E: The regular price of the sneakers at Addidas Philippines.com, inclufding sales tax, is Php 3 699.55. The final
purchase price of the sneakers at Nike Philippines.com, including shipping, is Php 3 001.6. What is the final
purchase price of the sneakers at Addidas Philippines.com? What is the regular price of sneakers at Nike
Philippines.com? Use the expressions you wrote for Parts C and D as part of your solution and round of to the
nearest cent.

Part F: If you were going to purchase the sneakers, would you purchase them form Addidas Philippines.com or from Nike
Philippines.com? Explain your reasoning. What other factors besides purchase price might influence your decision?

Part G: You decide to purchase the sneakers from Nike Philippines.com, in addition to several pairs of socks that cost Php
134.55 each. Nike Philippines.com offers free shipping on orders of Php 3 250 or more. Write and solve an
inequality to find how many pairs of socks you must buy in order to get free shipping. Explain your reasoning.
