Introductory Message
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from public
institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet the standards
set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire the
needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the module:
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also

Standard Form of Linear Equations in One Variable
The standard form of linear equations in one variable is represented as:
ax + b = 0
Where,
„a‟ and „b‟ are real numbers, and
„a‟ is not equal to 0
From the given examples on the table above, numbers 1,2,3 and 7 are all written in
its standard form ax + b = 0. Now, let us try to write the remaining linear equation in one
variable in this form.
x + 2x = 4
x + 2x + (-4)= 4 + (-4)
x + 2x – 4 = 0
2x + 10 = 0
2
x + 10 = 0
where: a = 1, b = 10

equation by the least common

x
2x + 5x = 0
x
2 + 5x = 0
or 5x + 2 = 0
where: a = 5, b = 2
In Example No.10, given as x + 6 = 0,
2 x
you will see that the highest exponent of variable x is 1 but if you will try to write it in the form
of ax + b =0, here‟s what you can get:
STEP 1: The right side of the equation is already
x + 6 = 0, equal to zero (0).
2 x STEP 2: There is no similar terms to combine.
STEP 3: Make the value of a, whole number by
multiplying both sides of the equation
by the LCD which is 2x
After trying to write it in the form ax + b = 0, you will notice that the highest power of variable
x is 2. Therefore, x + 6 = 0 , is not an example of a linear equation.
2 x
Thus, writing an equation in the form of ax + b = 0, helps you identify whether the given
equation is a linear equation in one variable or not.

Translating Verbal Statement into a Mathematical
Statement Involving Linear Equation and Inequality
in One Variable
In translating verbal statement into a mathematical statement, it is important to know
the words that are used to indicate mathematical operations. Some of these words are
shown in the table below.
In identifying whether the given verbal phrase is an equation or an inequality, the words
below will help you find it easily.
x + 6 = 10 x – 6 > 10
2y – 4 = 12 y – 4 <
12
Translation: 2y – 4 = 12
Translation: y – 4 = 12
Example 3. 3 subtracted from m is thrice m Example 3. 12 diminished by x is at least 5
m should be
the first to m – 3= 3m 12 – x ≥ 5
write
Translation: m – 3 = 3m Translation: 12 – x ≥ 5
6x + 4= 1 x ≤ 1
2
Translation: 6x + 4 = 1
Translation: x ≤ 1
Example 5. 7 added to y is twice y 2
y should be
the first to y + 7= 2y
write
Translation: y + 7 = 2y

According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert
forces upon each other. When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on
the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting
from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are
called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion.

Directions: Put a check ( ) mark on the blank provided before each number if the
statement is correct. Otherwise, put a cross ( ) mark.
_______ 4. An inequality uses the relation symbols “>, <, ≤, ≥, and ≠”.
_______ 6. A linear equation in one variable is one which can be written in the form
ax + b = 0, where a and b are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
_______ 8. The relation symbol “≥” denotes that one expression is less than or equal to the
other expression in an inequality.
_______ 9. In a verbal phrase “15 is subtracted from a number y is 45”, the corresponding
mathematical phrase is “ 15 – y = 45 “.

An equal sign (=) was introduced by an English mathematician to mean that two
expressions are names or descriptions of exactly the same objects.
