set of variables. The solution of the system of linear equations is an ordered pair that
makes both inequalities true. Graphically, the intersection of the two lines
determines the solution of the system of linear equations.

A. Substitution Method
1. Solve for one variable in terms of the other variable in one of the equations. If one of the
equations already gives the value of one variable, you may proceed to the next step.
2. Substitute the value of the variable found in the first step of the second equation. Simplify
then solve the resulting equation.
3. Substitute the value obtained in (b) to any of the original equations to find the value of
the other variable.
4. Check the values of the variables obtained against the linear equations in the system.
Example:
𝑥 𝑦
Solve the system { by substitution method.
𝑥 𝑦
Solution:
1) Use x – 2y = 3 to solve for y in terms of x.
x – 2y = 3
x = 2y + 3 Add both sides by 2y
2)Substitute 2y + 3 in the equation 3x + y = 2.
3x + y = 2
3( 2y + 3) + y= 2
6y + 9 + y = 2 Distributive Property of Multiplication
7y = 2 – 9 Combining like term and Addition property
7y = - 7 Divide both sides by 7
y=-1
3) Substitute y = -1 to the variable y in equation x – 2y = 3.
x – 2y = 3
x – 2( - 1) = 3
x+2=3 Simplify
x=3–2 Addition Property of equality
x=1
4) Check by substituting the value of x = 1 and y = -1 to both linear equations.
x – 2y = 3 3x + y = 2
1 – 2(-1) = 3 3(1) + (-1) = 2
1+2=3 3–1=2
3 = 3 True 2 = 2 True
𝑥 𝑦
Therefore, the solution of the system { is (1, -1).

Example 1.
James saved 17 coins made up of 5- peso and 10- peso denominations from his
allowance in a week. How many of each denominator if his coins amount to Php 120?
Solution:
b) Device a plan
x + y = 17
5x + 10y = 120
Therefore, there are 10 pieces of 5-peso coins and 7 pieces of 10-peso coins.
Example 2:
Karen bought 2 banana cue and 1 orange juce and paid Php 32.00. Zia paid Php 52.00 for
3 banana cues and 2 orange juice. What is the price of each banana cue?
Solution:
b) Device a plan.
2b + j = 32
3b + 2j = 42
d) Look back
2b + j = 32 3b + 2j = 42
2(12) + 8 = 32 3(12) + 2(8) = 42
24 + 8 = 32 36 + 16 = 42
32 = 32 TRUE 42 = 42 TRUE

Write a journal on what you have learned on the system of linear equations in
two variables.
SUM UP
1. A system of linear equations is two or more linear equations with the same set of
variables.
2. There are three kinds of systems of linear equations in two variables according to the
number of solutions. These are:
a) System of consistent and independent equations
It has exactly one solution.
The graphs are intersecting.
The slopes of the lines defined by the equations are not equal and their y-
intercepts could be equal or unequal.
b) System of consistent and dependent equations
It has infinite solutions.
The graphs are coinciding.
The slopes of the lines defined by the equations
are equal and their y-intercepts are equal.
c) System of Inconsistent equations
It has no solution.
The graphs are parallel.
The slopes of the lines defined by the equations are equal and their y-
intercepts are unequal.
3. The solution of a system of linear equations is an ordered pair that makes the two
equations true. It can be determined algebraically or graphically. To find the solution
graphically, graph both equations in a Cartesian coordinate plane then find the point of
intersection of the graphs.
a) Solve for one variable in terms of the other variable in one of the equations. If
one of the equations already gives the value of one variable, you may proceed to
the next step.
b) Substitute the value of the variable found in the first step of the second equation.
Simplify then solve the resulting equation.
c) Substitute the value obtained in (b) to any of the original equations to find the
value of the other variable.
d) Check the values of the variables obtained against the linear equations in the
system.
5. To solve a system of linear equations in two variables by the elimination method, the
following procedures could be followed:
6. There are many applications of the system of linear equation in two variables in real-life
situations. They are used to represent situations and solve problems related to uniform
motion, mixture, investment, work, number relations, and many others.
