lesson Note to the Teacher:

1. Review on solving systems of linear equations in two
variables can be solved graphically and also algebraically.
2. The teacher lets the students find the solution set of the
given system of linear equations graphically.
2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 5
(a) {
−𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 5

Answer:

Hence, the solution set is (1, 3).

B. Establishing a
purpose for the lesson Motive Questions:
1. What is the solution set you have obtained? (The
solution set is (1, 3).)
2. What method did you use to get the solution set? (We
used the graphing method.)

The solution of a system of linear equations can be

determined graphically and also algebraically. One
method of solving algebraically is what we call
substitution.
C. Presenting examples To solve a system of linear equations by substitution
of the new lesson method, the following procedures could be followed:
a. Solve for one variable in terms of the other variable in
one of the equations.
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.

2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 5
Solve the system { by substitution method.
−𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 5
Solution: Use 2x + y = 5 to solve for y in terms of x.
Subtract -2x from both sides of the equation.
2x + y – 2x = 5 – 2x → y = 5 – 2x
Substitute 5 – 2x in the equation -x + 2y = 5.
-x + 2(5 – 2x) = 5
Simplify.
-x + 2(5) + 2(-2x) = 5 → -x + 10 – 4x = 5
-5x = 5 – 10 → -5x = -5
Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation
by -5.
-5x /-5 = -5/-5 → x = 1
Substitute 1, value of x, to any of the original
equations to solve for y.
-x + 2y = 5 → -1 + 2y = 5
Simplify.
-1 + 2y = 5 → 2y = 5 + 1 → 2y = 6
Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation
by 2.
2y/2 = 6/2 → y = 3
Check the values of the variables obtained against the
linear equations in the system.
1. 2x + y = 5; x = 1 and y = 3
2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5
If x = 1 and y = 3, the equation 2x + y = 5 is true.
Hence, the coordinate (1, 3) satisfies the equation.
2. –x + 2y = 5; x =1 and y = 3
-1 + 2(3) = -1 + 6 =5
If x = 1 and y = 3, the equation –x + 2y = 5 is true.
Hence, the coordinate (1, 3) satisfies the equation.
2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 5
Therefore, the solution to the system { is the
−𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 5
ordered pair (1, 3).

#1
Solution:
Substitute 8 – 4x for y in equation (1).
5x + 3(8 – 4x) = 3
5x + 24 – 12x = 3
-7x = -21
x=3
Substitute 3 for x in equation (2).
y = 8 – 4(3) = -4.

G. Finding practical WORD PROBLEMS:

applications of Solve the following problem.
concepts and skills in 1. A stage theater sold tickets for ₱500. Senior citizens
daily living received discount of 20%, and paid only ₱400. On the
initial showing, the theater sold 450 tickets and registered
a total of ₱207, 500. How many of each type of tickets
were sold?

Answer:
Let x = number of 500-peso tickets sold
y = number of 400-peso tickets sold
500x = amount received for 500-peso tickets
400y = amount received for 400-peso tickets

The system of equations consists of:

(1) x + y = 450 (2) 500x + 400y = 207 500
Solve for y in terms of x in equation (1).
y = 450 – x
Substitute 450 – x for y in equation (2).
500x + 400(450 – x) = 207 500
500x + 180 000 – 400x = 207 500
100x = 27 500
x = 275, no. of 500-peso tickets sold
y = 450 – 275
y = 175, no. of 400-peso tickets sold
The solution of the system is (275, 175).
The number of 500-peso tickets sold is 275. The number
of 400-peso tickets sold is 175.

H. Making Answer the following questions:

Generalizations and 1. What is the other method in solving systems of linear
abstractions about equations in two variables algebraically? (The method is
the lesson called substitution.)
2. What is the first step to do in using substitution
method? (Solve for one variable in terms of the other
variable in one of the equations.)
3. How to determine whether the arrived solution set
satisfies both the equations? (Check the values of the
variables obtained through substituting it to the
equations.)
4. Back to the first example, did you arrive to the same
answer as the solution set through graphing as given in
the example? (Yes, we resulted to the same answer.)
