Most Essential Learning Competency Objectives

This worksheet provides examples and practice problems for representing quantities using algebraic expressions and equations in real-life situations. Students are asked to represent phrases like "the sum of six and a number" or "ten times a number" with algebraic expressions. They are also given word problems to translate into algebraic equations, such as describing the number of customers at a laundry shop last week if this week there were 18 fewer customers than last. The worksheet aims to help students learn how to use algebraic expressions and equations to model quantities and solve routine and non-routine problems.

LESSON 1: Representing Quantities in Real-Life Situations Using Algebraic Expressions


and Equations

In Mathematics, an Algebraic Expression is an expression built up from integer


constants, variables and the algebraic operations.
An Algebraic Equation can be defined as a Mathematical statement in which two
expressions are set equal to each other. In simple words, equations mean equality.
Through this module, you will find out how to represent quantities using algebraic
expressions and equations.

Algebraic expression is a Mathematical phrase that uses variables, numerals and


operation symbols.
Example:
A kite is flying at an altitude of m meters.

a. Express algebraically its new altitude after rising for 25meters.


m meters increased by 25
m + 25

Algebraic expression: m +25 →The kite’s new altitude is 25 meters more than m meters.

b. Express algebraically its new altitude after falling 10 meters. {Not related to (a)}
m meters diminished by 10
m - 10

Algebraic expression: m -10 →The kite’s new altitude is 10 meters less than m meters.

c. Represent algebraically its new altitude after tripling its altitude.


Translate:
3 multiply by m meters
3 x m
Algebraic expression: 3 x m or 3m or 3 • m or (3)(m) →The kite’s new altitude is 3m
meters.

Direction: Give the expressions of the following verbal phrases: Write your answers on a
sheet of paper.
1. The sum of six and a number
2. Eight more than a number
3. A number plus five
4. A number decreased by nine
5. Ten times a number

Read and study the problem.


Maricel buys 5 star apples for ₱5.00 each and 3 guyabanos for ₱32.50 each. She
gives the cashier a ₱200.00 bill. Write an expression for the total cost of the fruits she buys
and an equation for the amount of change the cashier should give her.
Algebraic Equation is a Mathematical sentence with an equal sign (=) which shows
that two expressions or both sides are equal.
The symbol = is read “equals” and separates an equation into two parts: the left
member and the right member.
Common words Translated as = equal or equals, is/are, is equal to, result is, yields.
Example:
1. Mr. and Mrs. Panen own a laundry shop. They had 134 customers this week, 18 fewer
than last week. Write an Algebraic equation for the number of customers they had last
week.
Let c be the number of customers they had last week.
