A. Introduction In your previous lesson, you have learned on how to translate verbal phrases into
mathematical symbols. In this lesson you will practice translating from real world
connection and situations.

Let’s first have a review:

What is an algebraic equation? an algebraic expression?

An algebraic equation is a mathematical sentence with an equal sign (=)

which shows that two expressions on either side are equal.

An algebraic equation is a mathematical phrase that uses variables,

numerals, and operation symbols.

Let’s take a look at this example:

Arkin buys 5 boxes of facemasks for P80.00 each and 7 face shields at P6.00
each. He gives the cashier a P1000.00 bill. Write an expression for the total cost
she buys and an equation for the amount of change she will receive.

Let’s use variable to represent the price of each item.

Let: m be the price of each box of facemasks which is P80.00
n be the price of each face shield which is P6.00
p be the amount of change

Now translate the phrases:

5 boxes for P80.00 each plus 7 face shields at P6.00 each

5m + 7n
Algebraic expression: 5m + 3n. This represents the total cost of the 5 boxes
for P80.00 each and 7 face shields at P6.00 each.

P1000.00 minus the total cost of items is the amount of change

1000 - (5m + 3n) = p

Algebraic equation: 1000 - (5m + 3n) = p

Let’s consider this problem.

Arvin is a newly-hired nurse in a private hospital in Bay, Laguna. As a policy of

the hospital, he should wear a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). He was
given a clothing allowance of P15,000.00. How many PPE can he buy using this
amount? The prices of PPE depends on its brand.

Study the table of prices for typical brands of PPE:

Therefore, the number of PPE he can buy using P15,000.00 clothing

allowance depends on the brand of PPE he prefers.

Problem 2:
Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez own a laundry shop. They had 134 customers this
week. This is18 fewer than last week since it is pandemic. Write an algebraic
equation for the number of customers they had last week. Let c be the
number of customers they had last week.

B. Development The Four Basic Rules for Solving an Equation

1. Addition Property of Equality
If the same quantity is added to both sides of an equation, the resulting
equation is equivalent to the original equation.
Example:x – 6 = 16 add (6) to both sides
x – 6 + 6 = 16 + 6 -6 + 6 = 0
x = 22

2. Subtraction Property of Equality

If the same quantity is subtracted from both sides, the resulting equation is
equivalent to the original.
Example: x + 6 = 16 subtract both sides by 6
x + 6 – 6 = 16 -6 6–6=0
x = 10

3. Multiplication Property of Equality

If both sides of an equation are multiplied by the same (nonzero) quantity, the
resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation.
𝑥
Example: = 15 multiply both sides by 5
5

4. Division Property of Equality

If both sides of an equation are divided by the same (nonzero) quantity, the
resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation.
Example:5x =15 divide both sides by 5
5x = 15
5 5
x=3

Let’s try to translate and solve the following equation:

I am six years older than twice the age of my youngest sister. If I were
66 years old. How old is my youngest sister?

Let x be her youngest sister’s age

Algebraic Equation is 6 + 2x = 66
Let us solve: 6 + 2x = 66
-6+6+ 2x = 66 – 6 Subtraction Property of Equality
2x = 60 Division Property of Equality
2 2
x = 30

Therefore, her youngest sister is 30 years old.

Learning Task 1: Translate the following into equation then solve.

1. If thrice a number is increased by 11, the result is 35. What is the
number?
2. If twice a number is decreased by 13, the result is 9. What is the
number?
3. Seven less than twice a number is 15. What is the number?
4. Six added to thrice a number is 30. What is the number?
5. If half the number is added to 16 is 60. What is the number?

C. Engagement Learning Task 2: Solve the following equation using the 4 basic rule in solving
equation.

D. Assimilation Learning Task 3: Translate each problem into a mathematical equation then
solve:
1. I am 24 years old. My age is 2 less than twice my sister’s age.
2. Arvin has a bake shop. He sold 85 cakes today. That is 16 cakes
fewer than yesterday. How many cakes did he sell yesterday?
3. Ann have 56 stamps that are 6 less than one-half of my stamps. How
many stamps do I have?
4. This month, Chiz earned only ¾ of his earning last month. If his
earning last month is P12,600. How much did he earn this month?
5. In Baguio City, a horse ride costs P120.00 per person for the first 30
minutes and P50.00 for every additional 10 minutes. If you spent
P270.00 for a horse ride, for how long did you ride?
