Learning Activity Sheet

Solves Problems Involving Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

Background Information for Learners

This activity sheet serves as a self-learning guide for the learners. It facilitates lesson
comprehension as it specifically aims for students’ mastery in solving problems involving linear
inequalities in two variables.

Linear inequalities can be written in the following forms;

ax + by > c, ax + by < c, ax + by ≥ c, ax + by ≤ c.

Solving problems involving linear inequalities is really difficult, so here are the suggested
steps on how to solve one:
Step 1. Read and analyze the problems.
Step 2. Represent the problem through inequality.
Step 3. Solve for what is required.
Step 4. Check if necessary.

Illustrations:
Example 1. Ashley bought five oranges and ten apples. The total amount that she paid
is at least Php 140. How much should an apple cost if an orange cost ₱8?
Step 1. Determine the given and the required data.
Let x → no. of oranges
y → no. of apples
Step 2. Represent the problem through inequality
5x + 10y ≥ 140
Step 3. Solve for what is required:
5x + 10y ≥ 140 Representation
5 (₱8) + 10y ≥ 140 Substitute 8 for x
₱40 + 10y ≥ 140
10y ≥ 140 – 40 Apply API
≥ Apply MPI

y ≥ 10 → an apple could cost ₱10 or above.

y = {y / y are element of the counting no. greater or equal to 10 }

y = {₱10, ₱11, ₱12,…}
Step 4. Check 1. If the price of apple is ₱10 Check 2: If the price of is ₱11
5x + 10y ≥ 140 5x + 10y ≥ 140
5 (8) + 10 (10) ? 140 5 (8) + 10 (11) ? 140
40 + 100 ? 140 40 + 110 ? 140
140 = 140 True 150 >140 True

Example 2: Bianca has some ₱ 10- coins and ₱5- coins. The total amount of these
coins is at most (≤) ₱900. What is the highest number of ₱ 5- coins, if there
are 50 pieces of ₱10 coins?

Step 1. Determine the given and the required data.

Let x → pieces of ₱10 – coins
y → pieces of ₱5 – coins
₱Step 2. Represent the problem through inequality.
10x + 5y ≤ 900
Step 3. Solve for what is required.
10x + 5y ≤ 900 Representation
10 (50) + 5y ≤ 900 Substitute 50 for ₱ 10 - coins
500 + 5y ≤ 900
5y ≤ 900 - 500 Apply API
≤ Apply MPI

y ≤ 80 → the highest no. of ₱ 5 coin that she can have is 80 pieces

Step 4. Check
If there are 80 pieces of ₱ 5 coins. If there are 79 pieces of ₱5 coins
1. 10x + 5y ≤ 900 2. 10X + 5Y ≤ 900
10 (50) + 5 (80) ? 900 10 (50) + 5 (79) ? 900
500 + 400 ? 900 500 + 395 ? 900
₱ 900 = ₱ 900 True ₱ 895 < ₱ 900

Example 3: The difference between the scores of Cathy and Cindy in the game lawn tennis is
less than nine points. If Cathy’s score is 27 points; what could be the
score of Cindy?
Step 1. Determine the given and the required data
Let x → Cathy’s score
y → Cindy’s score
Step 2. Represent the given through inequality
x–y<9
Step 3. Solve for what is required.
x–y<9 Representation
27 – y < 9 Substitute 27 for x ( Cathy’s score)
- y < 9 – 27 Apply API
- y < - 18 Apply MPI
y > 18 Cindy’s possible score could have been above 18
( 19, 20, 21, …..)

Step 4. Check. If the score is 19 If the score is 20

1. x – y < 9 2. x – y < 9
27 – 19 ? 9 27 – 20 ? 9
8<9 7<9

Learning Activity Sheet

Solves Problems on Systems of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

Background Information for Learners

This activity sheet serves as a self-learning guide for the learners. It facilitates lesson
comprehension and analysis as it specifically aims for students’ mastery in solving problems on
systems of linear inequalities in two variables.

Problems on systems of inequality in two variables can be solved clearly and easily by
graphical method.
Here are the steps:
1. Read and analyze the problem.
2. Represent the problem using the Systems of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables.
3. Solve by graphical method.
Steps in graphing:
a. Transform the linear inequalities into y = mx + b (slope intercept form).
b. Plot the y – intercept (b) and slope ( m ) of each inequality.
c. The double shaded region will serve as the solution of the problem / systems.

Note: Recall the previous lesson on how to graph systems of linear inequalities in two variables.

Example 1: Sheena can work a total of no more than 12 hours each week in her two jobs. On-
line tutoring pays ₱150 per hour and baby sitting pays ₱100 per hour. She needs to earn
at least ₱5000 to pay her bills. Write a system of inequalities that shows the number of
hours she can work each job.
Let x → no. of hours in tutoring
y → no. of hours in baby sitting.
Representaion:
x + y ≤ 12
150x + 100y ≥ 5000

Example 2: Trina wants to sell hand made potholders to earn a certain amount for her extra
allowance. She sells a rectangular potholder for ₱4 each and a circular potholder for ₱5
each. She wants to sell atleast 5 rectangular potholders and she cannot spend more than
₱100. Find two possible solutions of this problem by graphing.

Solution:
Let x → no. of rectangular potholder
Let y → no. of circular potholder

Representation:

4x + 5y ≤ 100 → inequality

Remark:The problem calls for a whole number solutions, since there are no fractional pieces of
potholders.

Solution: (from the double shaded region)

{ (50) (6,4) }

Example 3: James is making cookies for his bestfriend. Small-sized cost ₱3 and big-
sized cost ₱4. He needs to make less than 5 pieces of big-sized cookies and plans to
spend less than ₱60. Write and graph the system of inequalities to represent the problem.

Solution:
Let x → small-sized cookies
y → big-sized cookies
