Introduction:
This module covers key concepts of systems of linear equations and inequalities in two variables. It is divided into
three lessons namely: Systems of Linear Equations and their Graphs, Solving Systems of Linear Equations, and Graphical
Solutions of Systems of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables. In Lesson 1, students will describe systems of linear equations
and their graphs and solution sets. The students will also draw the graphs of systems of linear equations using any graphing
materials, tools, or computer software such as GeoGebra. In Lesson 2, the students will find the solution set of systems of
linear equations graphically and algebraically. The two algebraic methods of solving systems of linear equations that students
will use are substitution method and elimination method. In Lesson 3, the students will determine the graphical solutions of
systems of linear inequalities in two variables. Again, students will use any graphing materials, tools, or computer software.
It would be more convenient for students to find the solution sets of system of linear inequalities if the use of GeoGebra is
encouraged.
277
In all lessons, students are given the opportunity to use their prior knowledge and skills in learning systems of linear
equations and inequalities. They are also given varied activities to process the knowledge and skills learned and deepen and
transfer their understanding of the different lessons.
Have you ever asked yourself how businessmen make profits? How can farmers increase their yield or harvest? How
parents budget their income on food, education, clothing and other needs? How cellular phone users choose the best pay-
ment plan? How students spend their daily allowances or travel from home to school?
Entice the students to find out the answers to these questions and to determine the vast applications of systems of linear
equations and inequalities in two variables through this module.
Objectives:
After the learners have gone through the lessons contained in this module, they are expected to:
a. describe systems of linear equations using practical situations and mathematical expressions;
b. identify which given systems of linear equations have graphs that are parallel, intersect, and coincide;
c. draw the graph of systems of linear equations in two variables;
d. find the solution set of systems of linear equations by (a) graphing; (b) elimination; (c) substitution;
e. draw the graph of system of linear inequalities in two variables;
f. determine the graphical solutions of a system of linear inequalities in two variables; and
formulate and solve problems involving systems of linear equations and inequalities in two variables.

Teacher’s Note and Reminders Examples: Find the solutions of the following systems of linear equations graphically.
a. 2x + y = 7 b. 3x + y = 4 c. x – 2 = -5
-x + y = 1 3x – y = -5 2x – 4y = -10
302
Teacher’s Note and Reminders A system of linear equations can be solved algebraically by substitution or
elimination methods.
2x + y = 5
Example: Solve the system -x + 2y = 5 by substitution method.
Simplify.
-x + 2(5) + 2(-2x) = 5 -x + 10 – 4x = 5
-5x = 5 – 10 -5x = -5
Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -5.
-5x -5
= x=1
-5 -5
Substitute 1, value of x, to any of the original equations to solve for y.
Don’t -x + 2y = 5 -1 + 2y = 5
F rget!
o
Simplify.
-1 + 2y = 5 2y = 5 + 1 2y = 6
303
Teacher’s Note and Reminders Check the values of the variables obtained against the linear equations
in the system.
1. 2x + y = 5; x = 1 and y = 3
2(1) + 3 = 5 2 + 3 = 5 5 = 5
Hence, x = 1 and y = 3 are true to 2x + y = 5.
2. -x + 2y = 5; x = 1 and y = 3
-1 + 2(3) = 5 -1 + 6 = 5 5 = 5
Hence, x = 1 and y = 3 are true to -x + 2y = 5
Therefore, the solution to the system 2x + y = 5 is the ordered pair (1, 3).
-x + 2y = 5
To solve a system of linear equations in two variables by the elimination method, the
following procedures could be followed:
a. Whenever necessary, rewrite both equations in standard form Ax + By = C.
b. Whenever necessary, multiply either equation or both equations by a nonzero
number so that the coefficients of x or y will have a sum of 0. (Note: The
coefficients of x and y are additive inverses.)
c. Add the resulting equations. This leads to an equation in one variable. Simplify
then solve the resulting equation.
d. Substitute the value obtained to any of the original equations to find the value
of the other variable.
e. Check the values of the variables obtained against the linear equations in the
system.
3x + y = 7
Example: Solve the system by elimination method.
2x – 5y = 16
Solution: Think of eliminating y first.
Multiply 5 to both sides of the equation 3x + y = 7.
5(3x + y = 7) 15x + 5y = 35
304
Teacher’s Note and Reminders Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -5.
-5y = 10 -5y = 10 y = -2
-5 -5
Check the values of the variables obtained against the linear equations in
the system.
1. 3x + y = 7; x = 3 and y = -2
3(3) + (-2) = 7 9 – 2 = 7 7 = 7
Hence, x = 3 and y = -2 are true to 3x + y = 7.
2. 2x – 5y = 16; x = 3 and y = -2
2(3) – 5(-2) = 16 6 + 10 = 16 16 = 16
Hence, x = 3 and y = -2 are true to 2x – 5y = 16.
Therefore, the solution to the system 3x + y = 7 is the ordered pair (3, -2).
2x – 5y = 16
Systems of linear equations in two variables are applied in many real-life situations.
They are used to represent situations and solve problems related to uniform motion, mixture,
investment, work, and many others. Consider the situation below.
A computer shop hires 12 technicians and three supervisors for total daily wages
of Php 7,020. If one of the technicians is promoted to a supervisor, the total daily wages
become Php 7,110.
In the given situation, what do you think is the daily wage for each technician and
supervisor? This problem can be solved using system of linear equations.
Let x = daily wage of a technician and y = daily wage of a supervisor. Represent the total
daily wages before one of the technicians is promoted to a supervisor.
12x + 3y = 7,020
Represent the total daily wages after one of the technicians is promoted to a supervisor.
Don’t 11x + 4y = 7,110
F rget!
o Use the two equations to find the daily wages for a technician and a supervisor.
12x + 3y = 7,020
11x + 4y = 7,110
305
Teacher’s Note and Reminders Let’s solve the system using Elimination Method. Multiply both sides of the first equation
by 4 and the second equation by 3 to eliminate y.
Find the daily wage of a supervisor by substituting 450 to x in any of the original
equations. Then, solve the resulting equation.

C. Planning for Teaching-Learning
Introduction:
The learner demonstrates understanding of the key concepts of axiomatic development of geometry. It consists of three
lessons namely:
Lesson 1 – If- then Statements
Lesson 2 – Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
Lesson 3 – Writing Proof
As an introduction to the main lesson, ask them the following questions: Is it possible to make a valid conclusion without
even going through the process of investigation? What will you do if you were asked to make a decision that will affect many
people? Many aspects in our life involve decisions and proof.
In all lessons, students are given the opportunity to use their prior knowledge and skills in learning proofs in geometry.
They are also given varied activities to process the knowledge and skills learned and to deepen and transfer their
understanding of the different lessons.
Have you ever asked yourself how do you establish valid conclusions?
When do we use inductive and/or deductive reasoning?
Entice the students to find out the answers to these questions and to determine the vast applications of proofs through
this module.
Objectives:
After the learners have gone through the lessons contained in this module, they are expected to:
Identify the hypothesis and conclusions of if-then and other types of statements.
Formulate the inverse, converse and contrapositive of an implication.
Distinguish between inductive and deductive reasoning.
Provide formal arguments that explain results of a phenomenon or a situation.
Use syllogism in writing formal arguments as a series of statements that make up a proof.
Explain the need and importance for defined terms previously learned.
Differentiate between postulate and theorem.

b. Take one of the statements and tell something about it
c. .What is common to all of the statements?
Write your answers in your journal and have a small discussion with your group.
An if-then statement is composed of two clauses: the if- clause and the then- clause.
We can denote a letter for each clause, p for the if clause and q for the then clause. The
statement is in the form” If p then q. Conditional statements are formed by joining two
statements p and q using the words if and then. The p statement is called the hypothesis
and the q statement is the conclusion.
There are some conditional statements not written in this form but you can rewrite
them using the if-then form. How will you identify the hypothesis and the conclusion?
You try this:
353
Answer Key 4. Angles in a linear pair are supplementary.
Exercise 1 If-then form ________________________________________
Hypothesis ________________________________________
1. If the polygon is a rectangle then the opposite sides are parallel
Conclusion ________________________________________
2. If you are Filipino then you are God-fearing people.
3. If two angles are complementary then the sum is 90°. 5. Vertical angles are congruent.
4. If Paolo is a good citizen then he obeys rules and regulations. If-then form ________________________________________
5. If the polygon is a triangle then it has three sides. Hypothesis ________________________________________
Conclusion ________________________________________
Teacher’s Note and Reminders How do you distinguish the hypothesis from the conclusion when the statement is
not in the if-then form? See the examples below.
1. National Disaster Risk Reduction Council volunteers are busy during calamities.
2. An eighteen year old Filipino can cast his/her vote during election.
3. All right angles are congruent.
4. Three non-collinear points determine a plane.
5. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines.
Discuss with a partner the underlined part of the sentence and the one in bold letters.
What part of the sentence are the underlined words ? What part of the sentence are in bold
letters? Which is the hypothesis and which is the conclusion? Rewrite the statements to
if-then form.
Now that you know what conditional statements are, and you can identify the
hypothesis and the conclusion, have more practice in answering the exercises below.
Exercise 1
Convert each statement in if-then form, then identify the hypothesis and the
conclusion.
Now that you are well- versed in converting conditional statement to if-then form,
you can easily identify the hypothesis and the conclusion. When do you say that the
implication is true or false?
354
Teacher’s Note and Reminders The implication p → q is always true except in the case that p is true and q is false.
See the truth table for implication below.

Answer Key Observe the changes in the contrapositive.
Exercise 2 Summarize your observation in terms of p and q.
A. Converse: If the angles have the same measure then they are congruent.
Let’s take another statement: An even number is divisible by two.

B. 1. If three points are not collinear, then they determine a plane.
2. If an object is a rectangle, then it has four right angles. We can summarize how to convert the statement in terms of p and q.
See the table below.
3. If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect each other.

Lesson 3 Proving Theorems
In proving theorems, the properties of equality and congruence are the bases for
reasoning.
Properties of Equality
If a = b and c = d, then a – c = b – d.
If a = b, then ac = bc
Distributive Property
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Properties of Congruence
Don’t
Forget! Reflexive Property
AB ≅ AB
Symmetric Property
If ∠A ≅ ∠B then ∠B ≅ ∠A
361
Ask the students to answer exercise 4 Transitive Property
In proving theorems you have to follow these steps:
If ∠A ≅ ∠B and ∠B ≅ ∠C then ∠A ≅ ∠C
Read and understand the theorem
Aside from the properties of equality and congruence, you should be equipped with

4. Reflexive Prop. m∠HIT = m∠HIT
5. Transitive Prop. If ∠S ≅ ∠P, ∠B ≅ ∠S, then ∠P ≅ ∠B
Teacher’s Note and Reminders One of the tools used in proving is reasoning, specifically deductive reasoning.
Deductive reasoning is a type of logical reasoning that uses accepted facts to reason in
a step-by-step manner until we arrive at the desired statement.
Remember:
362
Teacher’s Note and Reminders Proofs can be written in different ways
The paragraph or informal proof is the type of proof where you write a
paragraph to explain why a conjecture for a given situation is true.
Given: ∠LOE and ∠EOV L
are complementary
E
Prove: LO ⊥ OV
O V
Proof: Since ∠LOE and ∠EOV are complementary, then m∠LOE + m∠EOV =
90° by definition of complementary angles. Thus, m∠LOE + m∠EOV
= m∠LOV by angle addition postulate and m∠LOV = 90° by transitive
property of equality. So, ∠LOV is a right angle by definition of right
angles; and therefore, LO ⊥ OV by definition of perpendicularity.

Teacher’s Note and Reminders SUMMARY
Designs and patterns having the same size and the same shape are seen in almost
all places. You can see them in bridges, buildings, towers, in furniture even in handicrafts
and fabrics
Congruence of triangles has many applications in real world. Architects and
engineers use triangles when they build structures because they are considered to be
the most stable of all geometric figures. Triangles are oftentimes used as frameworks,
supports for many construction works. They need to be congruent.
