A linear inequality in two variables is an inequality that can be written in
one of the following forms:
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 ≠ 𝐶 𝑦 ≠ 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 < 𝐶 𝑦 < 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 > 𝐶 𝑦 > 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 ≤ 𝐶 𝑦 ≤ 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 ≥ 𝐶 𝑦 ≥ 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
Example 3:
1. 𝑥 + 𝑦 < 5
2. 2𝑥 − 3𝑦 > −1
3. 5𝑥 − 6𝑦 ≥ 30

Example 4:
The total amount of 1- peso coins and 5-peso coins in the bag
of Jingrick is more than Php 150.
Solution:
Represent 𝑥 as the number of 1-peso coin
𝑦 as the number of 5-peso coin
The mathematical model is 𝑥 + 5𝑦 > 150.
Therefore, it is a linear inequality in two variables.

Example 5:
Solution:
Represent 𝑥 as the cost of each blouse
𝑦 as the cost of a pair of pants
The mathematical model is 2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 980.
Therefore, it is a linear equation in two variables.
