 What’s New

Corona and her friends went to SM Sky ranch to enjoy the weekend. She
bought five tickets for one of the rides. If she paid a total of ₱475 for 5 tickets
and ₱50 entrance fee, how much did one ticket cost?

Try to solve the problem. Use the space below.

Did you solve the problem? How did you do it? Did you multiply different
numbers by 5 and added 50 until you get 475? This method is called “trial and
error”. However, it takes too much time and doesn’t guarantee that you will
get the correct answer.
One method that can be used to solve the problem is by using linear equation
in one variable. Let’s go back to the problem. We are to solve for the price of
one ticket.
𝑥 Price of a ticket (since we don’t know the price, we use a variable)
5 Number of tickets
₱50 Entrance fee
₱475 Total payment

5𝑥 + 50 = 475

5𝑥 = 475 − 50

5𝑥 = 425

5𝑥 = 425
5 5
The value of 𝑥 is 85.
𝑥 = 85 Therefore, the price of one ticket
is ₱85.

Let us check if our answer is correct.

Based on our answer, one ticket costs ₱85. Corona bought 5 tickets.
5(85) = 𝟒𝟐𝟓
She paid her entrance fee worth ₱𝟓𝟎.
425 + 50 = 475 which is the same as the amount she paid. Therefore, ₱85 is
the correct answer.

Solution
 a replacement value of the variable that will make the equation or
inequality true
 The collection of all solutions of an inequality is called solution set.
Examples: Determine if the given values of the variables are solutions to the
following equations or inequalities.
1) 6 − 2𝑚 = −2 𝒎=𝟒
6 − 2𝑚 = −2 Substitute the value of 𝑚
(Change 𝑚 to 𝟒)
6 − 2(𝟒) = −2 Perform the indicated operation
6−8 = −2
−2 = −2 −2 is EQUAL to −2.
The statement is true. Therefore, 4 is a
solution to 6 − 2𝑚 = −2.
3) 2𝑥 − 2 > 4 𝒙=𝟑
2(𝟑) − 2 > 4
6−2 > 4
4 > 4 4 is NOT greater than 4. The statement
is false. Therefore, 𝟑 is not a solution to
2𝑥 − 2 > 4.

III Solving Linear Equations in One Variable

To solve an equation means to find the value of the unknown or the

variable.
REMEMBER:
The value of the variable is the SOLUTION to the equation.

A. Using the ADDITION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY (APE)

Addition Property of Equality
“If 𝑎 = 𝑏, then 𝑎 + 𝑐 = 𝑏 + 𝑐.”
Adding the same number to both sides of the equation (left and right
sides) does not change the equation.

left side 𝒎 + 𝟑 = 𝟐 + 𝟏𝟏𝒎 right side

REMEMBER:

equal sign

THINGS TO KNOW:
ADDITIVE INVERSE – a number that you add to another number to
get zero
The additive inverse of 6 is −6 because 6 + (−6) = 0.
The additive inverse of −12 is 12.
1 1
The additive inverse of is − .

4 7
If you got −7, 6, 3, 16, 27, − 20, respectively, then your answers are correct!

8
Examples: Solve the following linear equations.
1) 𝑥 + 7 = 10

𝑥 + 7 + (−7) = 10 + (−7) Isolate/leave the variable on one side

by adding the additive inverse of 7,
which is −7, to both sides of the
equation (APE).
REMEMBER: Whatever you do on the
left side, do it on the right side.
𝑥 + 0 = 10 + (−7)
𝑥 = 10 + (−7) Combine similar terms.
𝑥 = 3 The value of 𝑥 is 3.
To check if our answer is correct, substitute the value of 𝒙 to the
equation.
𝑥 + 7 = 10 : 𝑥 = 3
(𝟑) + 7 = 10 Change 𝑥 to 3.
10 = 10 The statement is TRUE. Therefore, 3
is the solution to 𝑥 + 7 = 10. Our
answer is correct.

2) −15 = −4 + 𝑚
−15 + 4 = −4 + 𝑚 + 4 Isolate/leave the variable on one side
by adding the additive inverse of −4 to
both sides of the equation (APE).
REMEMBER: Whatever you do on the
left side, do it on the right side.
−15 + 4 = 𝑚 + 0 Combine similar terms
−11 = 𝑚 The solution to the equation is −11.
To check if our answer is correct, substitute the value of 𝒎 to the
equation.
−15 = −4 + 𝑚 Substitute the value of 𝑚.
(Change 𝑚 to −11)
−15 = −4 + (−𝟏𝟏)
−15 = −15 The statement is correct. Therefore,
−11 is the solution to −15 = −4 + 𝑚.

3) 3𝑚 − 5 = 2𝑚 + 12
3𝑚 − 5 + 5 = 2𝑚 + 12 + 5 Isolate 3𝑚 by adding 5 (Additive
inverse of −5) to both sides
3𝑚 = 2𝑚 + 17
3𝑚 + (−2𝑚) = 2𝑚 + 17 + (−2𝑚) Add −2𝑚 (the additive inverse of 2𝑚)
to both sides
𝑚 = 17 + 0
𝑚 = 17 The value of 𝑚 is 17.
To check if our answer is correct, substitute the value of 𝒎 to the
equation.

9
 3𝑚 − 5 = 2𝑚 + 12
3(𝟏𝟕) − 5 = 2(𝟏𝟕) + 12
51 − 5 = 34 + 12
46 = 46 The statement is true. Therefore, our
answer, 17, is correct.

Notice in the above examples that when we isolate the variable, we simply
transpose the number that is on the same side of the variable to the other side
of the equation. Let us answer the examples again.
1) 𝑥 + 7 = 10
𝑥 + 7 = 10 Isolate/leave the variable. To do that,
TRANSPOSE 7 to the right side of the
equation.

REMEMBER: When we transpose a

term, we have to CHANGE its sign.
𝑥 = 10 − 7 Since the sign of 7 is positive, we have
to change it to negative when we
transpose it to the other side of the
equation.
Combine similar terms.
The solution is 3, same with our first
𝑥 = 3
answer.

2) −15 = −4 + 𝑚
−15 = −4 + 𝑚 Transpose −4 to isolate 𝑚.

The sign of −4 is negative, so we

−15 + 4 = 𝑚 change it to positive when we
transpose it to the other side.
−11 = 𝑚 The solution is 10.

3) 3𝑚 − 5 = 2𝑚 + 12
3𝑚 − 5 = 2𝑚 + 12
3𝑚 − 2𝑚 = 12 + 5
𝑚 = 17
Transpose 2𝑚 to the left side and −5
to the right side of the equation.
𝟐𝒎 becomes −𝟐𝒎 because you
transposed it from the right side to
the left.
−𝟓 becomes 𝟓 because you
transposed it from the left side to the
right.
Combine similar terms.
The value of 𝑚 is 17.

Checking: Checking:
𝑑 + 12 = −27 3𝑥 − 22 = −8 + 2𝑥
−39 +12 = −27 3 (14) −22 = −8 + 2 (14)
−27 = −27 42 − 22 = −8 + 28
The statement is true. 20 = 20
The statement is true.

B. Using the MULTIPLICATION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY (MPE)

Multiplication Property of Equality
If 𝑎 = 𝑏, the 𝑎𝑐 = 𝑏𝑐
Multiplying the same number to both sides of the equation does not
change the equation.
When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerator
REMEMBER: by the numerator and the denominator by the
denominator.

Examples: Solve the following equations.

1) 2𝑥 = 10 Isolate/leave the variable on one side

by multiplying both sides by the
1
multiplicative inverse of 2, which is 2.

1 1 REMEMBER: Whatever you do on the

2 2 left side, do it on the right side.
12𝑥 = 10
2 2
𝑥 = 5 The value of 𝑥 is 5 .
To check if our answer is correct, substitute the value of 𝒙 to the
equation.
2𝑥 = 10 Change 𝑥 to 3.
2(𝟓) = 10
10 = 10 The statement is TRUE. Therefore, 5
is the solution to 2𝑥 = 10. Our answer
is correct.

2) 28 = −𝑦 Isolate the variable. Remember that

the variable should be left alone on
one side. The coefficient of 𝑦 is −1. To
make the coefficient 1, multiply both
sides by the multiplicative inverse of
1 1
−1, which is − . − is the same as −1.

C. Using the ADDITION and MULTIPLICATION PROPERTIES of

EQUALITY (APE and MPE)

On this part, we are to apply both the properties we have learned in solving
linear equations in one variable.

1) 2𝑥 + 7 = −5 Isolate 𝑥. Transpose 7.
Don’t forget to change the sign.
2𝑥 = −5 − 7
2𝑥 = −12 Apply MPE
1 1 Multiply both sides by the
(2𝑥) = −12 ( )
2 2 multiplicative inverse of 2
2𝑥 12

2 2
𝑥 = −6 The solution is −6.
Checking:
2𝑥 + 7 = −5
2(−𝟔) + 7 = −5
−12 + 7 = −5
The statement is true. Our
−5 = −5
answer is correct.
2) 5𝑦 = −55 + 10𝑦 Transpose 𝟏𝟎𝒚 to the left side of
the equation.

5𝑦 − 10𝑦 = −55 𝟏𝟎𝒚 becomes −𝟏𝟎𝒚

Combine similar terms.
−5𝑦 = −55

𝑦 = 11 The value of 𝑦 is 11.

3) −5𝑥 + 23 = 10𝑥 − 7 Transpose 10𝑥 to the left side and

23 to the right side.

−5𝑥 − 10𝑥 = −7 − 23 Combine similar terms.

−15𝑥 = −30

−15 −15
𝑥 = 2 The value of 𝑥 is 2.

4) To make the denominator 1,

2𝑥 + 4 13
= multiply the whole equation by
4 2 the LCD which is 4.
2𝑥 + 4 13
4( ) = ( ) (4)
4 2
(2𝑥 + 4) = 13(2)
2𝑥 + 4 = 26 Apply APE
2𝑥 = 26 − 4
2𝑥 = 22
1 1 Apply MPE
(2𝑥) = 22 ( )
2 2
𝑥 = 11 The solution is 11.

remember:
When solving linear equations using APE and
MPE, apply APE first before MPE.

IV Applications of Linear Equations in One Variable

A. Age Problems
1. Jana is twice as old as Lorraine. If the sum of their ages is 72, how
old are they?
Hint:
Since we don’t know Lorraine’s age, we represent it Assign the last
with a variable name
𝒙 = 𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒆 mentioned as
the variable.

Jana is twice as old as Lorraine, so we represent her age as

𝟐𝒙 = 𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑱𝒂𝒏𝒂

𝒙 + 𝟐𝒙 = 𝟕𝟐 The age of Lorraine is 𝟐𝟒,

because 𝑥 = 24.
3𝑥 = 72 To solve for the age of Jana, we
1 72 substitute 𝑥 = 24 to 2𝑥.
(3𝑥) =
3 3 2(24) = 48
𝑥 = 24 Hence, Jana’s age is 48.

2. Samuel is six years older than Joan. The sum of their ages is 52.
How old are Samuel and Joan?
𝑥 = age of Joan
𝑥+6 = age of Samuel
Since Samuel is 6 years older, we add 6 to the
age of Joan.
𝑥 + (𝑥 + 6) = 52
2𝑥 + 6 = 52
2𝑥 = 52 − 6
2𝑥 = 46
1 = 46
(2𝑥)
2 2

𝑥 = 23 age of Joan

16
 𝑥+6
23 + 6 = 29 age of Samuel
Joan is 𝟐𝟑 years old and Samuel is 𝟐𝟗 years old.
B. Distance Problems
1. A cheetah can run at a speed of REMEMBER
100 𝑘𝑝ℎ. If it runs for 2 hours, Distance formula
what is the distance he can
travel at this speed? 𝑑 = 𝑟𝑡
Given:
𝑟 = 100 𝑘𝑝ℎ 𝑟 = 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑘𝑝ℎ, 𝑚𝑝ℎ, . . . )
𝑡 = 2 ℎ𝑟 𝑡 = 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 (ℎ𝑟, 𝑚𝑖𝑛, … )
𝑑 =? 𝑑 = 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 (𝑘𝑚, 𝑚, … )

Formula:
𝑑 = 𝑟𝑡
𝑑 = (100 𝑘𝑝ℎ)(2ℎ𝑟) Substitute the values of 𝒓 and 𝒕
𝑑 = 200 𝑘𝑚
The cheetah covered a distance of 𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝒌𝒎.

2. Izee ran for one hour this morning. If she covered a distance of
3 𝑘𝑚, how fast did she run?
Given:
𝑟 =?
𝑑 = 3 𝑘𝑚
𝑡 = 1 ℎ𝑟
Formula:
𝑑 = 𝑟𝑡
3 𝑘𝑚 = (𝒓)(1ℎ𝑟) Substitute the values of 𝒅 and 𝒕
1 1 Apply MPE to isolate 𝒓
3 𝑘𝑚 ( ) = 𝑟(1 ℎ𝑟) ( )
1ℎ𝑟 1 ℎ𝑟
3 𝑘𝑚
= 𝑟 Remember: the unit of 𝑟 is 𝑘𝑝ℎ
𝑜𝑟 3 𝑘𝑝ℎ
ℎ𝑟
Izee ran at a speed of 𝟑 𝒌𝒑𝒉.
C. Number Problems
1. The sum of two numbers is 32. If the bigger number is thrice the
smaller number, what are the numbers?

𝑥 = 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
3𝑥 = 𝑏𝑖𝑔𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
3𝑥 + 𝑥 = 32
4𝑥 = 32
1 1
(4𝑥) = 32 ( ) Apply MPE
4 4
32
𝑥 =
4
𝑥 = 8
The smaller number is 8.
The bigger number is 3(8) = 𝟐𝟒.

17
 2. The smaller number is six less than the bigger number. If the sum
of the two numbers is 60. Find the two numbers.

𝑥 = 𝑏𝑖𝑔𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
𝑥 − 6 = 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟

𝑥 + (𝑥 − 6) = 60
2𝑥 − 6 = 60
2𝑥 = 60 + 6 Transpose −6.
2𝑥 = 66
1 66 Apply MPE
(2𝑥) =
2 2
𝑥 = 33
The bigger number is 𝟑𝟑.
The smaller number is 33 − 6 = 𝟐𝟕.
