Solving Problems Involving
1 Linear
Many real-life situations are linearly related, such as calculating mileage rates or
predicting profits. The relationship involves two variables where one variable is
dependent on the other variable.
For example, what would be the perimeter if the length of one side of the square
measures 27 𝑐𝑚?
In order to solve this kind of problem, we need to write an equation that relates
these unknown quantities. Suppose we let 𝑥 be the length of one side of the square and
y the perimeter, the relationship between 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 can be expressed as 𝑦 = 4𝑥
With this equation, we can substitute any number for the length of one side of the
square to get the perimeter. Since the perimeter (𝑦) of the square depends on the length
of its side(𝑥), we can say that 𝑦 is a function of 𝑥.
The equation defined by 𝑦 = 4𝑥 is an example of a linear function.
A linear function is a function whose equation is written in the form
𝑦 = (𝑥) = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏, where 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 are used for the independent and dependent variables,
respectively, and 𝑚 ≠ 0. Its graph is a straight line.
In this lesson, we will learn more about problems involving linear functions.
What’s In
Let us recall how we represent a function, which we have taken in our previous
lesson.
Determine the linear function that shows the relationship between the two
quantities in four ways.
https://pixy.org/4771925/
Solutions:
A function can be represented in different ways.
a. Constructing Table of Values
Let 𝑥 = the number of seconds
𝑦 = total number of babies born per second
4
The table shows:
Number of Seconds (𝑥) 1 2 3 4
Total number of babies born per Second (𝑦) 3 6
9 12
b. Representing by Equation
The total number of babies born is thrice the number per second.
The equation is 𝑦 = 3𝑥
d. Representing by Graph
5
What’s New
Solving problems involving linear function requires skills in forming and solving
equations. As long as we have two data values, we can write the equation using the slope-
intercept form of the equation of a line. The equation or graph of a function is used to model
the real-life situation.
SINGING IS FUN!
Yesha plans to rent a videoke for
her birthday. Videoke rental charge is
₱750 per day and an additional ₱35 for
every succeeding hour.
Solution:
a) Let 𝑥 be the number of additional hours of using the videoke and 𝑦 the rental cost.
Since the additional charge for the rental fee is ₱35 per hour and ₱750 per day. We
have
𝑚 = 35 and 𝑏 = 750
𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
𝒚 = 𝟑𝟓𝒙 + 𝟕𝟓𝟎 can be written as (𝒙) = 𝟑𝟓𝒙 + 𝟕𝟓𝟎
c) Solving the rental cost that Yesha will have to pay for additional 4 hours, we have
(𝑥) = 35𝑥 + 750
(4) = 35(4) + 750
(4) = 140 + 750
𝒇(𝟒) = 𝟖𝟗𝟎

𝒇(𝒅) 10 11.75 13.50 15.25 17 18.75 20.5 22.25 24 25.75 27.5
b) To estimate the bus fare from Manila to Naga, substitute 400 for d in the function.
(𝑑) = 10 + 1.75𝑑
(400) = 10 + 1.75(400)
(400) = 10 + 1.75(400)
(400) = 10 + 700
𝒇(𝟒𝟎𝟎) = 𝟕𝟏𝟎
c) To calculate the distance traveled for a bus fare of ₱360, substitute 360 for (𝑑).
(𝑑) = 10 + 1.75𝑑
360 = 10 + 1.75𝑑
360 − 10 = 1.75𝑑
350 = 1.75𝑑

2. A certain high school had 1800 students in 2019 and 2000 students in 2020. If the
student population 𝑃 grows as linear function of time 𝑡, where 𝑡 is the number of
years after 2020.
a) Determine the slope and tell what the slope means to the problem.
b) Write linear function that relates the student populations to the time.
c) How many students will be enrolled in 2025?
d) Identify the year in which the population will reach 3800.
Solutions:
a) The given data may be written as the ordered pairs (𝑡, 𝑝). The year 2019
corresponds to t = 0, and the year 2020 corresponds to t = 1. Hence, the ordered
pairs: (0, 1800) and (1, 2000).
𝑦2 −𝑦1 2000−1800
𝑚= = = 200
𝑥2 −𝑥1 1−0
∴ The slope 𝑚 = 200 means that the students population grows by 200
students every year.
b) Since the graph of the function crosses the 𝑦- axis at (0, 1800), 𝑏 = 1800. Substitute
1800 for 𝑏 and 200 for 𝑚 into slope-intercept form, we have
𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
𝑦 = 200𝑥 + 1800 or (𝑡) = 200𝑡 + 1800
d) To determine the year when the population will reach 3800, solve for 𝑡.

What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the basic concepts on conditional statements or the if-then statements. The
scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read
them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
Lesson 1 - If - Then Statements

Lesson
1 If - Then Statements
3
In this module, you will learn how to analyze a given statement to identify
hypothesis and conclusion to write it in if-then form and represent it using a Venn
diagram.
What’s In
Geometry deals with logical reasoning to prove a certain statement. A statement
is a sentence that is true or false but not both true and false.
If the sentence is a question or command, or if it is vague or nonsensical, then it
cannot be classified as true or false, thus we would not call it a statement.
For example,
1. Today is Friday.
2. 3+5=15.
3. Fish swim.
4. Mickey Mouse is President.
All of these are statements, since they are either true or false. But consider:
1. Go away!
2. What are you doing?
3. This sentence is false.
These are not statements by our definition, since they cannot possibly be either
true or false.
What’s New
If-then Statements
If-then statements are commonly used in everyday life. For example, the
Philippine tourism slogan says, “It is more fun in the Philippines.” This can be translated
in if-then statement as, “If you are in the Philippines, then you will have more fun.”
The subject of the sentence becomes the hypothesis. The hypothesis is the given
information or the condition. Let p represent the “if” part or hypothesis “you are in the
Philippines”.
The predicate of the sentence becomes the conclusion. The conclusion is the
result of the given information. Let q represent in the “then” part or conclusion “you
will have more fun”.
The Venn diagram illustrates how the set of things that satisfy the hypothesis
lies inside the set of things that satisfy the conclusion.
Example: Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of the following statements.
4
1. If you drink milk, then you will grow up healthily.
2. If I wear mask, then I will be safe from the coronavirus.
3. If Migo does not get a good sleep, then he will not go to the movie.
Answers:
Notice that the words if and then are not part of the hypothesis or the conclusion.
Sometimes, the word then in a conditional statement is not explicitly stated. The use of
“then,” however, helps us to distinguish between the hypothesis and the conclusion.
Example: Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of the following statements.
Answers:
The if-clause usually comes at the beginning of the sentence. It may also come last.
Whenever it appears in the sentence, it is the hypothesis.
Example: Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of the following statements.
5
Conditional statements are not always in if-then form. However, any conditional
statement can be written in that form to emphasize which part is the hypothesis and
which part is the conclusion.
To rewrite each conditional statement in if-then form, consider the subject of the
sentence as the hypothesis and the predicate of the sentence as the conclusion.
Answers:
What is It
In formal logic, a conditional statement is considered true if the hypothesis is
false. (In everyday situation, a conditional is usually considered irrelevant when the
hypothesis is false.)
To demonstrate that a conditional is false, you need to find only one example for
which the hypothesis is true but the conclusion is false. An example like this is called a
counterexample.
When the hypothesis is true, the conclusion is also true because December
follows January.

2. If two angles are acute, then they are congruent.
You can have acute angles with measures of 80° and 30°. In this case, the
hypothesis is true, but the conclusion is false.
Answer: Since you can find a counterexample, the conditional statement is false.

Lesson Converse, Inverse, and
1 Contrapositive of a Conditional
Statement
Conditional statements make appearances everywhere. In mathematics or
elsewhere, it doesn’t take long to run into something which has the form
“If P then Q.” Conditional statements are indeed important. What is also important
are statements that are related to the original conditional statement by changing
the position of P, Q, and the negation of a statement. Starting with an original
statement, we end up with three new conditional statements which are the
converse, the contrapositive, and the inverse.
In this lesson, you will be familiar with the fundamental rules on how to
convert or rewrite a conditional statement into its converse, inverse, and
contrapositive by applying your skills in sentence structure and grammar.
What’s In
But first, we need to review what a conditional statement is because it is the
foundation or precursor of the three related sentences that we are going to discuss
in this lesson.
https://www.freepngimg.com/png/35468-teacher
Sometimes, you may encounter from other textbooks or resources the words
“antecedent” for the hypothesis and “consequent” for the conclusion. Don’t worry, they
mean the same thing.
In addition, the statement “If p, then q” is commonly written as the statement
“p implies q” which is expressed symbolically as p→q.
4
What’s New
1. Statement: x = 8.
Negation ∶ 𝒙 ≠ 𝟖
What is It
Recall that a conditional statement consists of two parts: a hypothesis in the “if”
clause and a conclusion in the “then” clause. For instance,
If 𝑚 < 𝐴 = 90, then <A is a right angle.
hypothesis: 𝑚 < 𝐴 = 90
conclusion: <A is a right angle
To form the converse of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and
the conclusion. It is denoted by q → 𝒑 . The converse of “If 𝑚 < 𝐴 = 90, then <A is
a right angle” is
If <A is a right angle, then m< 𝑨 = 𝟗𝟎.
To form the inverse of the conditional statement, take the negation of both the
hypothesis and the conclusion. It is denoted by ~𝒑 → ~𝒒 . The inverse of “If 𝑚 <
𝐴 = 90, then <A is a right angle” is
5
To form the contrapositive of the conditional statement, interchange the
hypothesis and the conclusion of the inverse statement. It is denoted by ~𝒒 → ~𝒑.
The contrapositive of “If 𝑚 < 𝐴 = 90, then <A is a right angle” is
Example 2:
Logical Equivalence
We may wonder why it is important to form these other conditional
statements from our initial one. A careful look at the above example reveals
something. Suppose that the original statement “If it rained last night, then the
sidewalk is wet” is true. Which of the other statements have to be true as well?
The converse “If the sidewalk is wet, then it rained last night” is not
necessarily true. The sidewalk could be wet for other reasons.
The inverse “If it did not rain last night, then the sidewalk is not wet” is not
necessarily true. Again, just because it did not rain does not mean that the
sidewalk is not wet.
The contrapositive “If the sidewalk is not wet, then it did not rain last night”
is a true statement.
What we see from this example is that a conditional statement has the same
truth value as its contrapositive. We say that these two statements are logically
equivalent. We also see that a conditional statement is not logically equivalent to
its converse and inverse.
It turns out that even though the converse and inverse are not logically
equivalent to the original conditional statement, they are logically equivalent to one
another. There is an easy explanation for this.
We start with the conditional statement “If Q, then P”. The contrapositive of
this statement is “If not P, then not Q.” Since the inverse is the contrapositive of
the converse, the converse and inverse are logically equivalent.
6
Biconditional Statement
Consider the following conditional statement and its converse:
Conditional statement: If two angles have the same measure,
then they are congruent.
If a conditional statement and its converse are both true, then they can be
joined into a single statement, called biconditional statement.
Biconditional statements are true statements that combine the hypothesis
and the conclusion with the key words: if and only if and is denoted by 𝒑 ↔ 𝒒;
and often written as p iff q. The statement will take the form: (hypothesis) if and
only if (conclusion) or (conclusion) if and only if (hypothesis).
The conditional statement and its converse above are true. Therefore, the
biconditional statements is
•Two angles have the same measure iff they are congruent.
• Two angles are congruent iff they have the same measure.
What’s More
I. Practice your sentence structure skills. Write the converse, inverse, and the
contapositive of each statement.
II. Each of the statements is true. Write the converse of each statement and
decide whether the converse is true or false. If the converse is true, combine
it with the original statement to form a true biconditional statement.
1. If two points lie on a plane, then the line containing them lies on the plane.
2. If a number ends in 0, then the number is divisible by 5.
3. If three points are collinear, then they lie on the same line.
4. If a polygon has three sides, then it is a triangle.
5. If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope.
7
What I Have Learned
Let p and q be statement variables which apply to the following definitions.
Conditional: The conditional of q by p is "If p then q" or "p implies q" and is
denoted by p → 𝑞. It is false when p is true, and q is false;
otherwise, it is true.
Biconditional(iff): The biconditional of p and q is "p if, and only if, q" and is
denoted 𝑝 ↔ 𝑞. It is true if both p and q have the same truth
values and is false if p and q have opposite truth values.

What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master illustrating equivalences of the statement and its contrapositive, and
the converse and inverse of a statement. The scope of this module permits it to be
used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be
changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
What I Know
Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the chosen letter on a separate sheet
of paper.
2. If a conditional statement and its converse are both true, what kind of statement
can be made?
A. converse C. contrapositive
B. inverse D. biconditional
4. Which of the following statements is equivalent to “If two angles are vertical
angles, then they are congruent”?
A. If two angles are congruent, then they are vertical angles.
B. If two angles are not vertical angles, then they are congruent.
C. If two angles are not vertical angles, then they are not congruent.
D. If two angles are not congruent, then they are not vertical angles.
5. Which of the following statements is the biconditional for “If it is June 12 in the
Philippines, then it is Independence Day”?
A. It is Independence Day if and only if it is June 12 in the Philippines.
B. If it is Independence Day, then it is June 12 in the Philippines.
C. If it is not June 12 in the Philippines, then it is not Independence Day.
D. If it is not Independence Day, then it is not June 12 in the Philippines.

Lesson
1 Illustrating Equivalences
In the previous lesson, you have learned how to change conditional statements
into its converse, inverse, and contrapositive. For this lesson, you will be able to
determine which statements are equivalent.
What’s In
If-then statements are conditional statements. The if part is the hypothesis (p) while
the then part is the conclusion (q).
If I immediately do my
Conditional If p, then q. 𝑝→𝑞 homework, then I can play
Mobile Legends.
If I can play Mobile Legends,
Converse If q, then p. 𝑞→𝑝 then I immediately do my
homework.
If I do not immediately do my
Inverse If not p, then not q. ~𝑝 → ~𝑞 homework, then I cannot play
Mobile Legends.
If I cannot play Mobile Legends,
Contrapositive If not q, then not p. ~𝑞 → ~𝑝 then I do not immediately do my
homework

What’s New
Read and analyze the conversation below.
red If two angles are both right angles, then they are congruent.
yellow If two angles are congruent, then both angles are right angles.
If two angles are not both right angles, then they are not congruent. blue
white
If two angles are not congruent, then they are not both right angles.
pink
So…who is telling the truth?
Which color/s do you think is/are telling the truth? Let us help pink to answer her
question.
Red’s statement is the conditional statement.
If two angles are both right angles, then they are congruent.
A
D ∟𝐴𝐵𝐶 and ∟𝐷𝐸𝐹 are both right angles. Since all right
angles measure 90𝑜 , therefore 𝑚∟𝐴𝐵𝐶 = 90𝑜 and
B E 𝑚∟𝐷𝐸𝐹 = 90𝑜 . If the angles have the same measurement,
C F
therefore, ∟𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ ∟𝐷𝐸𝐹.
G ∠𝐺𝐻𝐼 and ∠𝐽𝐾𝐿 are congruent angles because they have the
J
same measure. 𝑚∠𝐺𝐻𝐼 = 60𝑂 and 𝑚∠𝐽𝐾𝐿 = 60𝑜 . The
60𝑂 60𝑂
H K measure of the two angles is not 90𝑜 . It means that the angles
I L are not right angles.
G ∠𝐺𝐻𝐼 and ∠𝐽𝐾𝐿 are not both right angles because 𝑚∠𝐺𝐻𝐼 =
J
60𝑂 and 𝑚∠𝐽𝐾𝐿 = 60𝑜 . The two angles have the same measure
60𝑂 60𝑂
H K even though they are not right angles. They have the same
I L measure; hence, they are congruent.

White’s statement is the contrapositive of the conditional statement.
If two angles are not congruent, then they are not both right angles.
A
J ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 and ∠𝐽𝐾𝐿 are not congruent angles because 𝑚∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 =
60𝑂 90𝑂 and 𝑚∠𝐽𝐾𝐿 = 60𝑜 . One angle is a right angle, and the
B K other is not. So, the two angles are not both right angles.
C L
If you think that Red and White are telling the truth, then you are correct. Their
statements make sense. All right angles have the same measure, so all right angles are
congruent. If we are given two angles that are not congruent, then the two given angles
are not both right angles. Yellow and Blue’s statements somehow make sense but, we
can have congruent angles that can be both acute angles and both obtuse angles.
Kindly fill in the table.
What is It
From the previous activity, you were asked to fill in the table.
What can you notice with the result? Red and White have the same result, as well as
Yellow and Blue.
It is said that if a statement is true, its contrapositive is also true. Moreover, if the
converse is true, its inverse is also true.

3. If 𝑎 + 7 = 12, then 𝑎 = 5
Statement Explanation
The statement is true.
Converse If 𝑎 = 5, then 𝑎 + 7 = 12. Substitute 5 to 𝑎 + 7, the
answer is 12.
The statement is also true.
Inverse If 𝑎 + 7 ≠ 12, then 𝑎 ≠ 5
Confirm by substitution.
The statement is also true.
Contrapositive If 𝑎 ≠ 5, then 𝑎 + 7 ≠ 12.
Confirm by substitution.
The statements are all true. Notice that the conditional and
converse statements are both true. If a conditional statement
and its converse are both true, then they can be joined into a

single statement called biconditional statement. This is done by
using the words if and only if or abbreviated as iff. Hence, we
can say that 𝑎 + 7 = 12 iff 𝑎 = 5.
