e. Motivation:

“What symbol am I?”

Directions: The teacher will flash symbols using PowerPoint
Presentation. The students will identify what symbol is being
shown. Five points will be given to the participating students.

1. ˂ Answer: Less than

2. ˃ Answer: Greater than
3. = Answer: Equal

5. ≥ Answer: Greater than or equal to
6. ≠ Answer: Not equal to

B. Lesson Proper
a. Activity
“Where do I belong?”
Directions: The teacher will provide paper cut outs with
mathematical statements written on it. The students will classify
these statements in the column where they belong and paste it
on the board. The students who will volunteer will be given
chocolates as rewards.

y = 5x - 1 2x + y = 4

y > 5x - 1 9 + 5y = 3x

2x + y < 4 9 + 5y ≥ 3x

Linear Inequalities Linear Equations

Possible Answer:
Linear Inequalities Linear Equations

y > 5x - 1 y = 5x - 1

2x + y < 4 2x + y = 4

9 + 5y ≥ 3x 9 + 5y = 3x

b. Analysis
 Later on, relate the activity to the topic and ask the class
 by raising questions.
 The following are the questions to be answered orally by
analyzing the main thought of the lesson:
1. What have you observed from the activity?
2. What are the differences in each column?
3. What did you observe with the symbols used in
each mathematical statement?
 Afterwards, process their responses by relating to the
lesson.

ILLUSTRATING LINEAR INEQUALITIES IN TWO VARIABLES

A linear inequality in two variables is formed when symbols other than

equal to, such as greater than or less than are used to relate two
expressions, and two variables are involved. It uses the symbols <, >,
≤, ≥, 𝑜𝑟 ≠.

Linear inequality in two variables can be written in these forms.

Ax + By > C Ax + By ≥ C Ax + By ≠ C

Ax + By < C Ax + By ≤ C

Example:

1. Alucard bought 5 pencils and 20 sign pens. The total amount

he paid was less than Php250. If x represents the cost of
pencils and y the cost of sign pens, what will be the
mathematical statements to represent the given situation?
Let x be the cost of pencils
Let y be the cost of sign pens
5 (cost of pencil) + 20 (cost of sign pen) < 250
5x + 20y < 250

2. Gusion was asked by his mother Vexana to bought 10

bananas and 13 apples. Gusion paid an amount of more than
199 pesos. Write the mathematical statement if p represents
the amount of each banana and q represents the amount of
each apple.
Let p be the amount of each banana
Let q be the amount of each apple
10 (amount of each banana) + 13 (amount of each apple) > 199
10p + 13q > 199

DIFFERENTIATING LINEAR INEQUALITIES IN TWO VARIABLES

 FROM LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES

The table below defines Linear Equations and Linear Inequalities in

two variables. See how these two differ from each other under several
conditions.

Direction: Find your pair from the class and identify whether
the situation represents a linear inequality in two variables or
not. Write LI if it is, otherwise write NLI. Write your answer in
separate sheet of paper.

and 75 –peso tickets (𝑠) is not equal to 200.
2. The price of a refrigerator (𝑟) is greater than the price
of a washing machine (𝑤) increased by Php850.
3. The number of girls (𝑔) in the theater arts club is 3
more than twice the number of boys (𝑏).
4. A dozen of oranges (𝑜) added to two dozen of apples
(𝑎) has a total cost of Php 1,950.
5. 5. The number of red marbles (𝑟) is more than twice
the number of yellow marbles (𝑦).
