Activity

Class I have here two columns, in 5

minutes observe the two column then
afterwards I’ll be calling some of two to
answer the following questions: Possible answer:

1. How are items in column A 1. items at column A doesn’t have an

different in column B? equal sign while at column B there
is an equal sign
2. What symbol is common in all 2. equal sign
items of column B?
3. Give at least 3 example on blanks
provided below each column.

B C

x+2 x+2=5
2x – 5 4 = 2x -5
x x=2
3–x -5 = 3 – x y–8 y – 8 = 10
y + 2y y + 2y = 15

Analysis

Class, the items at column A are example

of an algebraic expression.

Based on our previous lesson, what is an It could be one term or a group of terms
algebraic expression separated by plus or minus sign.

That’s correct.
Which among the two column is an Column A.
example of algebraic expression?
How about in column B, what is in column All of the items has an equal sign.
B that column A do not have?

That’s right.

The items at column B is an example of

an equation.

Base on the examples of column B, who An expression having an equal sign.

has an idea about the word equation?

You have an idea.

I have here the definition for equation. Equation is a mathematical sentence

Please read. where the equal sign is used.

So, when we say equation, the equal sign

must be present.

Example for that is x 2=9 , as you observe

the equal sign is present.

Gave me three other examples of an 3x + 4 = 8

equation. 2y – 20 = 3
x – 15 = 5

Very good.

Now let’s discuss the meaning of x – 15 =

5.

In the equation x – 15 = 5, the left side of

the equation is x – 15 while the right side
is 5.

x – 15 = 5 means that the value left side

must be equal to the value of the right
side.

We can determine whether the left side of

the equation is equal at the right side of
the equation by finding the value of the
variable present.
By substitution, let’s determine whether x
= 20, is a solution in the equation x – 15 =
5.

By substitution we have:
(20) – 15 = 5
5=5

Therefore, x = 20 is a solution in the

equation x – 15 = 5.

By substitution determine whether x = 10 x – 15 = 5: x = 10

is a solution in the equation x – 15 = 5. Sub.
(10) – 15 = 5
-5=5

Base on your answer, does x = 10 a No ma’am.

solution in the equation x – 15 = 5?

That’s right because the left side of the

equation is -5 while the right side is 5.
Both sides of the equation are not equal
that’s why x = 10 is not a solution.

Abstraction

Class, what is algebraic expression? It could be one term or a group of terms

separated by plus or minus sign.

How about equation? Equation is a mathematical sentence

where the equal sign is used.

Give me an example of an algebraic Example of algebraic expression is y – 18

expression and equation while equation is y – 18 = 5

When can we say the value of the The value is a solution if both side if the
variable present in the equation is a equation are equal. The value is not a
solution or not? solution if both sides are not equal

Application

I will group the class into four. All group

must comply the following.

1. give five examples of algebraic 1. x, y + 7, x – 30, x + 25 and 2x + 7

 expression
2. give 3 examples of equation 2. y + 7 = 10, x – 30 = 12 and 2x + 7
3. Determine which among the = 21
values satisfy the equation y –
3 = 10. 3.
a. (5) – 3 = 10
a. x = 5 2 ≠ 10
b. b = 13
b. (13) – 3 = 10
10 = 10

Therefore 13 is a solution in the equation

y – 3 = 10

IV. Assessment
Directions: answer the following in ½ crosswise.

1. Determine whether the items is an algebraic expression or equation.

a. 3 + x = 25
b. 3x – 2
c. 3x
d. 1 – 3x = 10
e.
2. In your own word differentiate algebraic expression from equation.

3. Determine whether x = 6 is a solution of the equation 3x – 3 = 15

V. Agreement
