presenting the new 1. Review on the three methods in solving systems of

lesson linear equations in two variables: graphing, substitution,
and elimination.
2. The teacher lets the students find the solution set of the
following system of linear equations. They can use any of
the three methods.
 {2 x + y=7
−x+ y=1

Answer:
The solution set is (2, 3).
B. Establishing a
purpose for the lesson Motive Questions:
1. What are the three methods in solving systems of linear
equations in two variables? (The methods are graphing,
substitution, and elimination.)
2. Which method do you prefer to use? (Answers may
vary.)
3. Can you state a real life problem wherein we can apply
these to our daily lives? (Answers vary.)

Since we already know the different methods in solving

systems of linear equations, we will now discuss the
application of this to our real life situations or problems
involving systems of linear equations in two variables.
C. Presenting examples Example:
of the new lesson
A computer shop hires 12 technicians and three
supervisors for total daily wages of Php 7,020. If one of
the technicians is promoted to a supervisor, the total daily
wages become Php 7,110.

In the given situation, what do you think is the daily wage

for each technician and supervisor? This problem can be
solved using system of linear equations.
Let x = daily wage of a technician and
y = daily wage of a supervisor.
Represent the total daily wages before one of the
technicians is promoted to a supervisor.
12x + 3y = 7,020
Represent the total daily wages after one of the
technicians is promoted to a supervisor.
11x + 4y = 7,110
Use the two equations to find the daily wages for a
technician and a supervisor.
12x + 3y = 7,020

Prepared by: Cherry Mae M. Sumayo

 MATHEMATICS RESOURCE PACKAGE

11x + 4y = 7,110
Solve the system graphically or by using any algebraic
method.
Let’s solve the system using Elimination Method.
Multiply both sides of the first equation by 4 and the
second equation by 3 to eliminate y.

12 x +3 y=7,020 → 4 (12 x +3 y=7020) → 48 x +12 y=28,080

11 x+ 4 y=7,110 3(11 x + 4 y=7110) 33 x +12 y=21,330

The resulting system of linear equations is

{48 x+ 12 y =28,080
33 x+12 y=21,330

Subtract the terms on both sides of the resulting equations.

48x + 12y = 28,080
33x + 12y = 21,330
15x = 6,750
Using the equation 15x = 6, 750, solve for x by dividing
both sides of the equation by 15.
15 x 6,750
15x = 6,750 → = → x=450
15 15

The daily wage of a supervisor is Php 540.

Find the daily wage of a supervisor by substituting 450 for

x in any of the original equations. Then, solve the
resulting equation.

12x + 3y = 7,020; x = 450

12(450) + 3y = 7,020 → 5,400 + 3y = 7,020
→ 3y = 7,020 – 5,400
→ 3y = 1,620
3 y 1,620
→ =
3 3
→ y = 540
The daily wage of a supervisor is Php 540.

Answer: The daily wages for a technician and a

supervisor are Php 450 and Php 540, respectively.
D. Discussing new Example:
concepts and The sum of the measures of two angles is 180 ° . Three
practicing new skills times the measure of one angle is 24 less than the measure
#1 of the other angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Solution:
Let x = the measure of the small angle

Prepared by: Cherry Mae M. Sumayo

 MATHEMATICS RESOURCE PACKAGE

y = the measure of the large angle

3x = y – 24, the relationship between the two angles.
The system of equations consists of:

{ x + y=180(1)
3 x = y−24 (2)
Solve for y in terms of x in equation (1).
y = 180 – x
Substitute 180 – x for y in equation (2).
3x = ( (180 – x) – 24
3x = 156 – x
4x = 156
x = 39
y = 180 – 39
y = 141
Therefore, the measures of the angles are 39° and 141° .

F. Developing Mastery Think-Pair-Share.
 Give one word problem to the students and let
them think for 5 minutes.
 After thinking about the problem, let them choose
with their pair and answer the word problem.
 The teacher will only choose one pair to share
their answer to the class.

Problem:
Nora works at a pharmaceutical company as a chemist. To
meet the clients’ demands, she was told to prepare 100
liters of 25% alcohol solution. She has on hand a 15%
alcohol solution and a 40% alcohol solution which she
thought of mixing. How many liters of each solution will
be required to make the mixture?

Answer:
Let x = the number of liters of 15% alcohol solution
needed
y = the number of liters of 40% alcohol solution
needed
No. of liters Percent of Solution Mixture
x 0.15 0.15x
y 0.40 0.40y
Total no. of liters = 100

The system of equations consists of:

 MATHEMATICS RESOURCE PACKAGE

{ 0.15 x+0.40 y =0.25 ( x + y ) (1)

x + y=100 (2)
Substitute 100 to (x + y) in equation (1). Thus, we have

{
0.15 x+0.40 y =0.25(100)
x + y=100
Or

{
0.15 x+0.40 y =25(1)
x+ y =100(2)
Solve for x in terms of y in equation (2).
x = 100 – y
Substitute 100 – y for x in equation (1).
0.15(100 – y) + 0.40y = 25
15 – 0.15y + 0.40y = 25
0.25y = 10
y = 40
Substitute 40 for y in equation (2).
x + 40 = 100
x = 100 – 40
x = 60

Therefore, Nora needs 60 liters of 15% alcohol solution

and 40 liters of 40% alcohol solution to make the
mixture.
