What’s New

Activity: Let’s Play!

Jake loves to play “Word Hunt”. The objective of the game is for the player to
earn specific number of stars to progress to the next higher level. Jake has already
earned 300 stars and he can earn 100 stars for every level completed.

5 CO_Q1_Mathematics8_M13
 Guide Questions:

1. What are the given information?

2. What is asked?
3. What linear equation can be formulated to represent the total number
of stars earned in a game?
4. How many stars will Jake have earned after playing for 4 levels? 5
levels? 6 levels?

What is It

Applications of Linear Equation in Two Variables

Let us recall that a solution of an equation in two variables x and y is any

ordered pair (x, y) that makes the equation true. To determine whether an ordered
pair (x, y) is a solution of an equation, we will just substitute the values of x and y
into the equation. On the other hand, equations in two variables usually have
infinitely many solutions.

The processes of solving an equation discussed in the previous modules are

very much helpful in solving problems involving linear equations in two variables.
Translating verbal sentences into mathematical equations are also useful in this
module.
There are many real-life situations that exhibit linear equation in two
variables. Below are the steps to solve problems involving linear equations in two
variables:

• First, read and understand the problem

• Second, translate the problem into an equation in two variables
• Third, find the solution using the formulated equation
• Fourth, check the solution obtained by substituting the solution/s to
the original equations
To model these steps, let us recall Jake’s number of stars earned per hour of
playing a mobile game.

Step 1. Understand the problem.

Given:
• Jake has 300 stars
• Jake can earn 100 stars for every level completed of the game
Asked: The total number of stars Jake can earn after playing for 𝑥
level/s

Let 𝑥 be the number of levels completed in the game

Let 𝑦 be the total number of stars earned in completing the level

6 CO_Q1_Mathematics8_M13
Step 2. Translate the problem into an equation in two variables.

Using the information above, we can construct a table:

level
1 2 3
completed (𝑥)
Number of
stars earned 100(1) + 300 300 + 100(2) 300 + 100(3)
(𝑦)

level
1 2 3
completed (𝑥)
Number of
stars earned 400 500 600
(𝑦)

Hence, the situation can be modelled as 𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 300

Step 3. Find the solution using the formulated equation.

To determine the number of stars earned after playing the game in 4

levels, use the equation obtained in Step 2 and substitute the value
of 𝑥:
𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 300
𝑦 = 100(4) + 300 Substitute x by 4
𝑦 = 400 + 300
𝒚 = 𝟕𝟎𝟎

The number of stars earned after completing 5 levels of playing will

be:
𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 300
𝑦 = 100(5) + 300 Substitute x by 5
𝑦 = 500 + 300
𝒚 = 𝟖𝟎𝟎

The number of stars earned after completing 6 levels of playing will

be:
𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 300
𝑦 = 100(6) + 300 Substitute 𝑥 by 6
𝑦 = 600 + 300
𝒚 = 𝟗𝟎𝟎

7 CO_Q1_Mathematics8_M13
 Step 4. Check the solution obtained by substituting the solution/s to the
original equations.

𝑥 = 4, 𝑦 = 700 𝑥 = 5, 𝑦 = 800 𝑥 = 6, 𝑦 = 900

𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 300 𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 300 𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 300
700 = 100(4) + 300 800 = 100(5) + 300 900 = 100(6) + 300
700 = 400 + 300 800 = 500 + 300 900 = 600 + 300
700 = 700 800 = 800 900 = 900

Hence, the number of stars earned after completing the “Word Hunt”
levels 4, 5, and 6 are 700 stars, 800 stars, and 900 stars,
respectively.

To have a deeper understanding on solving problems involving systems of

linear equations in two variables, let’s try to explore illustrative examples presented
below.
Example 1:
A dress maker charges P750.00 for sewing a seat cover with a minimum of 20
pieces, plus P100.00 per seat cover cloth. How much will it cost if you will order 20
seat covers?

Step 1.
Let x = number of seat covers made

Let y = total amount to be paid for seat cover plus the charges

Step 2: 𝑦 = 20𝑥 + 750

Step 3. Use the equation obtained in step 2 to solve the problem. Since the
number of seat cover to be made is 20,
𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 750 Substitute x in the equation by 20
𝑦 = 100(20) + 750
𝑦 = 2,000 + 750
𝑦 = 2,750
Step 4: Check answers directly against the facts of the problems. Substitute
the value of x and y to the equation
𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 750
2,750 = 100(20) + 750
2,750 = 2,000 + 750
2,750 = 2,750
Therefore, the total amount to be paid is P2,750.00

8 CO_Q1_Mathematics8_M13
Example 2:

A tricycle passenger is charged P20.00 for the first ten kilometers and
an additional of P3.00 per succeeding kilometers. What is the cost of a 25
kilometers ride?
Step 1.
Let x = charge per succeeding kilometers
Let y = total cost

Step 2: In this problem we will use the table of values to find what is ask.
kilometers (x) 10 11 12 13
total cost (y) 20 23 26 29

To formulate the equation using the table of values, we can choose

any two points in the form (𝑥, 𝑦), from the table to find the slope:

For example, let us choose ( 10, 20 ) and ( 11, 23 ).

x1 , y1 x2 y 2

Use the slope formula. Substitute ( 10, 20) for (x1, y1) and (11, 23) for (x2, y2)
𝑦2− 𝑦1
(𝑆𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒) 𝑚 =
𝑥2 −𝑥2
𝑚 = 23 − 20
11 − 20
𝑚 = 3
1
𝒎 = 𝟑  slope

To find the y-intercept, we can use the slope and any point from the table.
Using the slope-intercept form equation of a line: 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏

Substitute 𝒎 = 𝟑, and (𝑥, 𝑦) = (10, 20)

𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
20 = 3(10) + 𝑏
20 = 30 + 𝑏
−𝟏𝟎 = 𝒃  y-intercept
Substitute the slope and the y-intercept obtained to the equation 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 +
𝑏. Therefore, using the table above, we come up with the equation
𝒚 = 𝟑𝒙 − 𝟏𝟎

Step 3: Use the equation obtained in step 2 to solve the problem. Since you
were ask for a total cost of a 25 km ride,

𝑦 = 3𝑥 − 10 Substitute x in the equation by 25

𝑦 = 3(25) − 10
𝑦 = 75 − 10
𝑦 = 65

9 CO_Q1_Mathematics8_M13
 Step 4. Check answers directly against the facts of the problems. Substitute
the value of x and y to the equation
𝑦 = 3𝑥 − 10
65 = 3(25) − 10
65 = 75 − 10
65 = 65✓
Therefore, the total cost of a 25 km ride is P65.00

Graphing the solutions of the linear equations in two variables can also
model real-life situations. Presented below is an example.

Example 3.
Jianne wants to buy a new android mobile phone. She has already 𝑃2,500 in
her savings account, but the amount is not enough, so she needs to save more in
order to buy the phone. Her total savings can be modelled as 𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 2,500 where
𝑦 is her total savings, and 𝑥 is the number of weeks to save. Graph this equation and
see how much she can save in 15 weeks. If the amount of the mobile phone is 𝑃4,450,
will Jianne be able to save enough in 20 weeks?
Solution:
First, we need to create a table of values for the equation 𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 2,500.
We can assign nonnegative values of 𝑥 to find the corresponding values of 𝑦.

Number of weeks (number of weeks, total savings)

𝒚 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒙 + 𝟐, 𝟓𝟎𝟎
(𝒙) (𝒙, 𝒚)
0 𝑦 = 100 (0) + 2,500
𝑦 = 0 + 2,500 ( 0, 2500)
𝑦 = 2,500
5 𝑦 = 100 (5) + 2,500
𝑦 = 500 + 2,500 ( 5, 3000)
𝑦 = 3,000
10 𝑦 = 100 (10) + 2,500
𝑦 = 1000 + 2,500 (10, 3500)
𝑦 = 3,500
15 𝑦 = 100 (15) + 2,500
𝑦 = 1,500 + 2,500 ( 15, 4000)
𝑦 = 4,000

10 CO_Q1_Mathematics8_M13
Plot the ordered pairs on a Cartesian plane. Draw the line that passes
through the points and contains all the solutions of the equation.

𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 2,500
Total Savings

No. of Weeks

The graph above shows that Jianne can save P4,000 in 15 weeks. If we are
going to determine the corresponding ordered pair from the table, we have (15,
4000). To check whether this ordered pair satisfies the equation, let us
substitute it to the equation 𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 2,500:

𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 2,500
4,000 = 100(15) + 2,500
4,000 = 1,500 + 2,500
4,000 = 4,000 ✓

11 CO_Q1_Mathematics8_M13
 To answer if Jianne can save enough amount in 20 weeks to buy a mobile
phone worth 𝑃4,450.00, we can substitute 𝑥 = 20 to 𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 2,500,
𝑦 = 100𝑥 + 2,500
𝑦 = 100(20) + 2,500
𝑦 = 2,000 + 2,500
𝑦 = 4,500

Also notice that in the graph, we have the coordinate (20, 4,500). This means
that, in 20 weeks Jianne will be able to save enough amount to buy a mobile phone
worth 𝑃4,450.
