Quarter 2 – Week 1
Lesson 1
Competency:
The learner illustrates linear inequality in two variables
Objective:
The learner should be able to:
1. define linear inequalities in two variables
2. illustrate linear inequalities in two variables
3. determine if the given point is a solution of an inequality or not.
Lesson:
A linear inequality in two variables can be written in the following form.
Ax+By>C greater than
Ax+By<C less than
Ax+By≥C greater than or equal to, at least
Ax+By≤C less than or equal to, at most
Ax+By≠C not equal
A Linear Inequality is like a Linear Equation (such as y = 2x+1) ...but it will have
an inequality like <, >, ≤, or ≥ instead of an =, where a, b and c are real numbers.
A solution of a linear inequality in two variables is an ordered pair (x,y) that makes the
inequality true
We can also identify whether the given expression is a linear inequality or not.
Example
Identify if the given inequality is a linear inequality in two variables or not.
a. 2x + 3y > 5 b. x2 – y2 ≤ 1
c. x ≥ 6y + 3 d. y < 2xy - 3
Solution:
a. 2x + 3y > 5 Linear inequality b. x2 – y2 ≤ 1 Not Linear inequality
c. x ≥ 6y + 3 Linear inequality d. y < 2xy – 3 Not Linear inequality
Activities:
C. Determine if the given points are solutions of the inequality 3x - 2y > 12.
a. (−2, 4) b. (2, −3) c. (5, 0)
Lesson 2
Competency:
The learner differentiates linear inequalities in two variables from linear
equations in two variables.
Objective:
The learner should be able to differentiates linear inequalities in two variables
from linear equations in two variables.
Lesson:
Equations and inequalities are two important tools in Mathematics. The former
expresses identity or exactness of quantities, while the latter implies difference in
quantities.

Lesson 4
Competency:
The learner solves problems involving linear inequality in two variables.
Objective:
The learner should be able to:
1. Translates mathematical statements into linear inequalities into
two variables.
2. Solves problems involving linear inequality into two variables.
Lesson:
Find out how linear inequalities in two variables are used in real-life situations and in
solving problems.
Certain situations in real-life can be modeled by linear inequalities in two
variables.
Consider the following example.
1. The sum of 5-peso coins and 10-peso coins is greater than Php 180.
a. What mathematical statement represents the total amount of 5-peso coins
and 10-peso coins? Define the variables used.
Answer:
Let x = the number of 5-peso coins
y = the number of 10-peso coins
Linear Inequality: 5x + 10y > 180
c. How many 5-peso coins and 10-peso coins are there? Give at least 3
ordered pairs for the possible answers.
Answer:
Refer to the graph for the possible answers. You can only get solutions
from the shaded region. Locate some points.

Q2 Week No.1 Competency Code: M8AL-IIa-2
Competency Code: M8AL-IIa-4
1. First ordered pair: ( 5, 17 )
*There are 5 5-peso coins and 17 10-peso coins.
2. Second ordered pair:(8,16 )
*There are 8 5-peso coins and 16 10-peso coins.
3. Third ordered pair: (12,14 )
*There are 12 5-peso coins and 14 10-peso coins.
b. Suppose there are 11 10-peso coins, what is the minimum number of 5-
peso coins?
Answer:
Given: y = 11
Substitute this value to the inequality.
5x + 10y > 180
5x + 10(11) > 180
5x + 110 > 180
Applying Subtraction Property of Inequality,
5x + 110 – 110 > 180 – 110
5x > 70
Applying Division Property of Inequality,
5x > 70
5 5
x > 14 The Minimum number of 5-peso coins is 15.
Activities:
2. A retailer sells two types of coffee beans. One type cost 400 per kilo and the other
type costs 300 per kilo. Find all the possible amounts of the two different coffee beans
that can be mixed to get a quantity of coffee beans costing Php 1200 or less.
3. Julius has a job as an appliance salesman. He earns a commission of Php 3000 for
each washing machine he sells and Php 6000 for each refrigerator he sells. How many
washing machines and refrigerators must Julius sell to make Php 36,000 or more in
commissions?

Wrap-Up:
• In mathematics a linear inequality is an inequality which involves a linear
function. A linear inequality contains one of the symbols of inequality. It
shows the data which is not equal in graph form.
< less than, > greater than,
≤ less than or equal to ≥ greater than or equal to
≠ not equal to ,
• A linear inequality resembles in form an equation, but with the equal sign
replaced by an inequality symbol. The solution of a linear inequality is
generally a range of values, rather than one specific value
