Instructions:

1. Read each problem carefully

2. Answer each question correctly in the student worksheet
3. Ask the teacher for help if there are things that are not understood

1. Problem
Pay attention to the following problems!

One day Marsel bought 2 kg of

apples and 1 kg of oranges at a
price of Rp. 15,000, while Sella
bought 1 kg of apples and 2 kg of
oranges at a price of Rp.18,000. if
Lala only buys 3 kg of apples and
2 kg of oranges, how much money
does she have to spend?
2. Investigation
What are you doing to solve the problems?

Are there other alternative ways to solve the problems?

3. Presentation of Data
Convert the problem into system of linear equations in two variables using the
table:

Table 1
Apples (x) Oranges (y) price

Marsel … … …

Sella … … …

4. Problem Solving
Analysis
Step 1 Change the system of linear equations in two variables problem into a
matrix form
Remember!

[ …… ……][ xy ]=[ ……] Matrix equation

form:

 AX=B X= A-1B

Step 2 Where: [ ……the……matrix

Converts ] is matrix
AX =ABandto the[ ……inverse
] is matrixformB X = A B
-1
 XA=B X= BA-1

[]
x

1 … … …
y … …−… … … … … [ ][ ]
[ xy ]= …1 [ …… ……][ …… ]
x = 1 … +¿…
 …………… ……………….

Step 3 Determines the price of 3 kg of apples and 2 kg of oranges

the price of 3 kg of apples = 3 x Rp. = Rp.

the price of 2 kg of oranges = 2 x Rp. = Rp.

so, the amount of money spent is Rp. 16.000
