 Anna and Peter’s combined score in an exam is 19. Can we write this algebraically? Is it possible to find
their individual score?
Problems like the one above can be solved and modelled using linear equations in two variables.
Finding their individual score can be confusing but as long as one score is given you can find the other score.
Let us start this lesson by reviewing the linear equation in one variable by answering the activity below.

CONCEPTS AND EXAMPLES

Linear Equations in Two Variables

In your previous activity, the combined scores of Anna and Peter can be written as follow:

𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑎’𝑠 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 + 𝑃𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟’𝑠 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 = 19

Replacing Anna’s score by a variable 𝑥 and Peter’s score by a variable 𝑦, respectively, the
equation becomes:

𝑥 + 𝑦 = 19

This is an example of a linear equation in two variables.

If 𝐴, 𝐵, and 𝐶 are real numbers, and if 𝐴 and 𝐵 are not both equal to 0, then
𝑨𝒙 + 𝑩𝒚 = 𝑪 is called a linear equation in two variables. The numbers 𝐴 and 𝐵
are the coefficients of the variables 𝑥 and 𝑦, respectively, while the number 𝐶 is the
constant.

The equation 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 19 is written in standard form where 𝐴 = 1, 𝐵 = 1, and

𝐶 = 19. So, when can we say that a linear equation is in its standard form?

The standard form of a linear equation in two variables is written in the order
𝑨𝒙 + 𝑩𝒚 = 𝑪.

Consider the equation below and answer the questions that follow.

5𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 6

Questions:

1. How many variables are used in the equation?

2. How many variable/s in each term?

3. What is the exponent of each variable in each term?

4. Did you see any variable in the denominator?

5. Did you see any variable inside the radical sign?

6. Is the given equation a linear equation in two variables? If so, what are the

values of A, B, and C?

7. Is the equation written in standard form? If not, how can we rewrite this in

standard form?
The equation 4𝑦 = 6 − 5𝑥 is a linear equation in two variables because:

1. it has two variables, 𝑥 and 𝑦;

2. it has only 1 variable in each term;

3. the exponent of the variable in each term is 1 which means the degree of the

equation is 1;

4. there is no variable in the denominator; and

5. there is no variable inside a radical sign.

EXAMPLES

Determine whether the following equation is in standard form. If not, change it into
standard form.

1.x + 3y = 2
This equation is already in standard form, where A = 1, B = 3, and C = 2.

2.2y + 4x + 6 = 0
This equation is not in standard form. To write this in standard form, follow the
format Ax + By = C.

Standard Form:4x + 2y = -6
The x and y terms are together on one side, while the constant is isolated on the
other side. Remember, if you change the side of a term, you should change
the sign of it.

Therefore, A = 4, B = 2, and C = -6.

3.-5 + 8x = 9y
This equation is not in standard form. To write this in standard form, follow the
format Ax + By = C.

Standard Form:8x – 9y = 5

Therefore, A = 8, B = -9, and C = 5.

4.10y + 11 = 7x

This equation is not in standard form. To write this in standard form, follow the
format Ax + By = C.

Standard Form:-7x + 10y = -11

Evaluating Linear Equations in Two Variables
A linear equation in two variables have many sets of ordered pair that satisfies the equation.

This time, we will find possible values of 𝑥 and 𝑦 that will satisfy the equation 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 24.
What do you think are the values of 𝑥 and 𝑦?

See the solutions below.

EXAMPLES

1. Find at least 2 ordered pairs that satisfy the equation 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 24.

Solution:

To do this, we will assign any value of x, substitute it to the equation

to solve for the value of y.

If 𝒙 = 𝟎, then

2𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 24
2(0) + 4𝑦 = 24
0 + 4y = 24
4y = 24
4y 24
=
4 4
y=6

The ordered pair (0, 6) satisfies the equation 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 24.

If 𝒙 = -2, then

2𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 24
2(-2) + 4𝑦 = 24
-4 + 4y = 24
4y = 24 + 4
4y 28
=
4 4
y=7

The ordered pair (-2, 7) satisfies the equation 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 24.

 2. Determine if the ordered pair (2, −3) satisfies the equation 2𝑥 − 𝑦 = 7.

Solution:
In the given ordered pair, 𝑥 = 2 and 𝑦 = −3. Substituting each value, we have
2𝑥 − 𝑦 = 7
2(2) − (−3) = 7
4+3=7
7=7
Hence, the ordered pair (2, −3) satisfies the given equation.

YES OR NO!
Direction: Write YES if each equation below is a linear equation in two variables, otherwise, NO.

_______ 1. 4x – y = 0 _______ 6. 11 + 8√ x = 4y
_______ 2. 3y + 5x2 = 12 _______ 7. 9x – 8y = 6
_______ 3. –7x – 1 = 6y _______ 8. x4 – 10 = 13y
_______ 4. x2 + 8y – 9 = 0 _______ 9. 14y = 8x – 2
_______ 5. 2x + 3y + 4 = 10 _______ 10. –5y – 17 + 4xy = 0
