Quarter 2 – Week 2:
Solves Problems Involving System

Variables
(M8AL-lla-4)
 SOLVE PROBLEMS INVOLVING LINEAR
INEQUALITIES IN TWO VARIABLES

LET US KNOW

In the previous activity sheet, you have learned how to solve problem
involving linear inequalities in two variables, now we can begin to solve
problems involving systems of linear inequalities in two variables.

In this activity sheet, we will learn how to solve problems involving linear
inequalities in two variables. Just like solving linear equation in two variables,
the solutions of inequalities in two variables are ordered pairs that make the
inequality true.

LET US REVIEW

Directions: Solve each system of inequalities and show their graph.

Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

LET US STUDY

Ayie makes home decorations. It takes her 2 hours to make a

bouquet and 1 hour to make a basket. She can work no more than 40 hours
per week. The cost to make one bouquet is ₱50.00 and the cost to make a
basket is ₱100.00 She can afford to spend no more than ₱3,600.00 per week.
Write a system of inequalities to describe the situation in the problem. Graph
the system. Determine a reasonable number of bouquets and baskets that
can be made each week.

Solution:
Let
x = number of bouquets and
y = number of baskets.
The total number of hours that Ayie can work is no more than 40 hours per
week.
2𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 40
The total amount Ayie can spend in making home decorations is no more than
₱3,600

Try it.

Many elevators save a capacity of 1,000 kg. Suppose that children (each
weighing 35 kg) and adults (each weighing 80 kg) are on an elevator. Graph a
system of linear inequalities that will indicate when the elevator is over
loaded.

 LET US PRACTICE

Write a system of linear inequalities to describe the situation in

each problem. Then, graph the system.

1. It costs Rex ₱10.00 to make a picture frame and ₱15.00 to make a

napkin holder. Production cost cannot exceed ₱300.00. Find an
inequality that shows the possible combinations of the number of
picture frames (f) and napkin holders (h) that can be made.

2. Miss Mendoza Has two tutees, one paying Php. 250.00 per session and
the other is paying Php. 300.00 per session. She must earn at least
Php. 600.00 a month to pay expenses while attending college. Write an
inequality that shows the various ways she can schedule her time to
achieve her goal.

 LET US REMEMBER

Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct word/s to make

each statement true. Write you answers on a separate sheet of paper.

1. ____________ in x and y is an inequality that can be written in one of the

following forms: 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 > 𝐶, 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 < 𝐶, 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 ≥ 𝐶, or 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 ≤ 𝐶, where A,
B, and C are real numbers and A and B are both not equal to 0.

2. The graph or of a linear inequality in two variables include a region known

as a(n) _______________.

3. For linear inequality involving the symbols < or > in two variables, the
_______________ is dashed.

4. A _______________ consists of two or more inequalities considered

simultaneously.

5. A. ________________ of a system of inequalities is a pair of a numbers that

satisfies each inequality of the system.

6. To graph linear inequality 𝑥 + 𝑦 < 4, first graph the boundary line. Then
pick a test ________________ to determine which half-plane to shade as the
solution.

LET US APPRECIATE

Directions: Read and analyse the given situations and answer the
question that follows, then graph the system. Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper.

1. Your mother is planning a menu for your birthday. She plan to serve
pork barbeque and chicken nuggets. She expects to serve at least 50
kilograms of meat. The pork (P) costs 200.00 pesos per kilograms and
the chicken (C) meat costs 180.00 pesos per kilograms. She has a
budget of at most 10,000.00 for meet on your birthday.

6
 a. Complete the following system of linear inequalities P kilograms of pork
and C chicken meat that your mother could prepare on your birthday.

𝑃 + 𝐶 ≥ ________
____ • 𝑃 + _____ • 𝐶 ≤ 10,000

b. Graph the system of linear inequalities in (a).

c. In what quadrant should your graph be for the solution of the system
to make sense? Explain.

LET US PRACTICE MORE

The size of basketball floors varies due to building sizes and other
concerns such as cost, ect. The length L is to be at most 94 ft. and the width
W is to be at most 50 ft. Graph a system of linear inequalities that describes
the possible dimensions of the basketball floor.

 EVALUATION

Directions: Read and analyze each problem and answer the

question that follows. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
Animal Studies
1. A zookeeper wants to fence a rectangular pen for goats. The length of
the pen should be at least 80 ft, and the distance around it should be
more than 310 ft. What are the possible dimensions of the pen?

Investment
2. Mr. Santos is planning to invest up to 250,000 in Bank A or Bank B or
both. He wants to invest at least 30,000 pesos but no more than
120,000 pesos in Bank A. Bank B does not insure more than 150,000
pesos so he invest no more than that in Bank B. Find a system of
inequalities that describes the choices available to Mr. Santos.
Represent the choices graphically.
