Steps in Solving Problems
There are several real-life problems involving systems of linear equations.

The following are the steps in solving the problems:
1. Read and analyze the problem carefully.
2. Each unknown quantity are represented by a variable.
3. Translate the verbal phrases/sentences into mathematical
statement/sentence.
4. Solve the systems of linear equations in two variables by
graphing.
5. Check the solution in the original conditions of the problem.
Example 1: The sum of two numbers is 5. Their difference is 1. Find the numbers.
Solution:
Representation of the unknown.
Let x = be the number
y = the other number
Write two Equations.

Equation 1 x+y=5
Equation 2 x–y=1
6
Solve the system by graphing.
Find the x- and y – intercept of x + y = 5 to graph equation 1
(5, 0) (0, 5)
Graph equation 2 x–y=1
Find the x – and y – intercept of x – y = 1
(1, 0)
(0, -1)
Therefore, the value of a number is 3 and the other number is 2.

To check: 3 + 2 = 5 is correct, which is the sum of two numbers
3 – 2 = 1 is correct, which is the difference of two numbers.
Example 2: Find two positive numbers if one is three times the other, and their
difference is 8.
Solution:
Let x = be one positive number
y = the other positive number
7

Graph equation 1: x = 3y
In this example you cannot use the x – and y – intercept because the constant
is missing or the constant is equal to 0. So you need to assigned any number to x.
like x = 3 and x = 0 to both equations.
Equation 1
x=3 x=0
𝑥 = 3𝑦 𝑥 = 3𝑦
3 3𝑦 0 3𝑦
= =
3 3 3 3
1=𝑦 0=𝑦
(3, 1) (0, 0)
Graph equation 2: x – y = 8
Find the x – and y – intercept of x – y = 8
To find the x – intercept, let y = 0 To find the y – intercept, let x = 0
𝑥−𝑦 =8 𝑥−𝑦 =8
𝑥−0= 8 0−𝑦 =8
−𝑦 8
𝑥=8 = −1
−1
(8, 0) 𝑦 = −8 (0, -8)
8
Plot the points in the Cartesian coordinate plane.
Equation 1 the coordinates are (3, 1) and (0, 0)
Equation 2 the coordinates are (8, 0) and (0, -8)
To Check: Equation 1 Equation 2

x=3y x–y=8
12 = 3(4) 12 – 4 = 8
12 = 12 8=8
Therefore, the two positive numbers are 12 and 4.
Example 3
Kim is four years older than Ana. If the sum of their ages is 18, find their ages.
Solution:
Let x = be the age of Ana
y = be the age of Kim

Equation 1: Kim is four year older than Ana
y=x+4
Equation 2: The sum of their ages is 18.
x + y = 18
9
Find the x- and y – intercept of y = x + 4 to graph equation 1
To find the x – intercept, let y = 0 To find the y-intercept, let x = 0
y=x+4 y = x+ 4
0=x+4 y=0+4
0-4 = x y=4
-4 = x or x = -4 (0, 4)
(-4, 0)
Find the x – and y – intercept of x + y = 18
x + y = 18 x + y = 18
x + 0 = 18 0 + y = 18
x = 18 y = 18
(18, 0) (0, 18)
Graph the coordinates of the two equations.
Therefore, the age of Ana is 7

years old while the age of Kim
is 11 years old.
Example 4
Diana has an equal number of ₱1-peso coin and ₱5-peso coin in her pocket.
If the coins worth ₱18.00, how many of each coin does she have?
Solution:
Let x = be number of ₱1-peso coin
y = be number of ₱5-peso coin
10
Equation 1: equal number of ₱1-peso coin and ₱5-peso coin
x=y
Equation 2: the coins worth ₱18.00
Coin Value Worth
x 1-peso x
y 5-peso 5y
x + 5y = 18
Solve the systems by graphing.
In this example we cannot use the x – and y – intercept because the constant
is missing or the constant is equal to 0. So we need to assigned any number to x.
Equation 1: x = y
x=0 x=3
0 = y or y = 0 x=y
(0, 0) 3 = y of y = 3
(3, 3)
Equation 2: x + 5y = 18
Find the x – and y – intercept of x + 5y = 18
x + 5y = 18 x + 5y = 18
x + 5(0) = 18 0 + 5y = 18
5y 18
x + 0 = 18 =
5 5
18
(18, 0) 𝑦= 5
18
(0, 5 )
Therefore, the number of 1-

peso coin and 5-peso coin is
3.

x + 15 = 37 x – 15 = 7
x = 37 – 15 x = 7 + 15
x = 22 x = 22
4. Check if (22, 15) satisfies both of the original equations.
Equation 1 Equation 2
x + y = 37 x–y=7

1. Look for terms that can be eliminated. The equations do not have
any x or y terms with the same coefficients.
y + 2x = 27
3y – x = 25
2. Multiply the second equation by 2 so they do have the same
coefficient
y + 2x = 27
2(3y – x) = 2(25)
3. Rewrite the system and add the equations.
7𝑦 77
7
= 7
𝑦 = 11
4. solve for x by substituting 11 for y in either of the original equations

y + 2x = 27 3y – x = 25
11 + 2x = 27 3(11) – x = 25
2x = 27 - 11 33 − 𝑥 = 25
2𝑥 16
= −𝑥 = 25 − 33
2 2
−𝑥 −8
𝑥=8 = −1
−1
𝑥=8
24
5. Check if (8, 11) satisfies both of original equations.
y + 2x = 27 3y – x = 25
11 + 2(8) = 27 3(11) – 8 = 25
11 + 16 = 27 33 – 8 = 25
27 = 27 true 25 = 25 true
Therefore, the smaller number is 8 and the larger number is 11.
Example 3: The perimeter of rectangle is 12m. Twice the width is equal to the
length. Find the length and the width.
Solution:
Let x = length
y = width
 The perimeter of rectangle is 12m.
Note: P = 2l + 2w
Equation 1: 2x + 2y = 12
 Twice the width is equal to the length.
Equation 2: 2y = x

1. Rewrite equation 2 in standard form Ax + By = C
2y = x
-x + 2y = 0
2. Look for terms that can be eliminated. The equations do not have
any x or y terms with the same coefficients.
2x + 2y = 12
-x + 2y = 0
2. Multiply the second equation by 2 so they do have the same
coefficient
2x + 2y = 12
2(-x + 2y) = 2(0)
3. Rewrite the system, and add the equations.
6𝑦 12
=
6 6
𝑦=2
25
4. solve for x by substituting 2 for y in either of the original equations
2x + 2y = 12 2y = x
2x + 2(2) = 12 2(2) = x
2x + 4 = 12 4 = 𝑥 or 𝑥 = 4
2x = 12 - 4
2𝑥 8
=2
2
𝑥=4
3. Check if (4, 2) satisfies both of the original equations
2x + 2y = 12 2y = x
2(4) + 2(2) = 12 2(2) = 4
8 + 4 = 12 4 = 4 true
12 = 12 true
Therefore, the length of a rectangle is 4m and the width is 2m
Example 4: If it takes 3 hours for a motor boat to travel 72 km upstream and 2 hours
to travel 80km downstream, find the speed of the boat in still water and
the rate of the current.
Solution:
Let x = the rate of speed of the boat in still water.
y = rate of the current
rate time distance
Downstream x+y 2 80
Upstream x-y 3 72
Note: Distance = rate x time

The equations are:
(x + y) 2 = 80
(x – y) 3 = 72
Solving the system:
(𝑥+𝑦)2 80
= 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 40
2 2
(𝑥−𝑦)3 72
= 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 36
3 3
2𝑥 76
=
2 2
𝑥 = 38
26
Solving for y:
If x + y = 40 and x = 38, then
38 + y = 40
y = 40 – 38
y=2
The speed of the boat in still water is 38kph
The rate of the current is 2 kph
