STUDENT’S WORKSHEET: APPLIED PROBLEM OF SPLTV OR SPLDV INTO MATRICES

Name : ..................................................... Class : ......

Problem Based on System of Linear Equation

In our daily life, we face many problems involving more than one unknown quantities. We can frame a system
of linear equations taking those unknown quantities as variables and change them into matrices.

1. Costumes have been designed for the school play. Each boy’s costume requires 5 yards of fabric, 4 yards
of ribbon, and 3 packets of sequins. Each girl’s costume requires 6 yards of fabric, 5 yards of ribbon, and
2 packets of sequins. Fabric costs $4 per yard, ribbon costs $2 per yard, and sequins cost $.50 per packet.
Use matrix for applied the problem above.
Solution:
Step 1
Write down the information that you get from the question above!

Step 2
According to the problem, what you will get: Make into System of Linear Equation

Step 3
After you get the System of Linear Equation, we can make those equation into matrices
[ ]∙[ ]= [ ]

[ ]=[ ]∙[ ]
Step 4
Can you try to solving this problem using a matrice
2. If the length of a rectangle is increased by 3 meters and the breadth is decreased by 3 meters, its area
decreased by 18 square meters. Again, if both length and breadth are increase 3 meters, its area increase
by 60 square meters. Find the length and the breadth of the rectangle.
Solution:
Step 1
Write down the information that you get from the question above!

Step 2
According to the problem, what you will get: Make into System of Linear Equation

Step 3
After you get the System of Linear Equation, we can make those equation into matrices
[ ]∙[ ]=[ ]

[ ]=[ ]∙[ ]
Step 4
Can you try to solving this problem using a matrice
3. David has a total of $15,000 in three investments. One of the investments consists of bonds that pay 6
percent annual interest, another is a saving account that pays 5 percent annual interest, and the third is a
business. Two years ago, the business lost 3 percent and his net income from the three investments was
$550. Last year the business earned 9 percent and his net income from the three investments was $910.
How much does he have in each of the instalments?
Solution:

Step 3
After you get the System of Linear Equation, we can make those equation into matrices
[ ]∙[ ]= [ ]

[ ]=[ ]∙[ ]
Step 4
Can you try to solving this problem using a matrice
4. The present age of a father is 3 times the age of his son. 5 years before, the age of father as 4 times the
age of the son. Find the present age of the father and the son
Solution:
Step 1
Write down the information that you get from the question above!

1. Danny and Budi together can do a work in 4 hours. Budi takes 6 hours more than Danny to do the
work alone. In how many hours Danny alone can do this work?
2. If the length of a rectangular park is increased by 2 m and the breadth is decreased by 2 m, then its
area is decrease by 28 m2. Again, if the length is decreased by 1 m and the breadth is increased by 2
m, then its area is increased by 33 m2. Find the area of the park.
3. The sum of the ages of a father and his two sons is 52 years. The difference of ages of two sons is 3
years. When the elder son will attain the age of his father, at that time the sum of their ages will 136
years. Find the present ages.
