DIFFERENTIATING ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS, EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES AND
ILLUSTRATING LINEAR EQUATION AND INEQUALITY IN ONE VARIABLE

Name of the Learner: ____________________________________ Section: ___________________

School: _________________________________________________ Date: _____________________
I. Learning Competency:
 Differentiates algebraic expressions, equations and inequalities and illustrates
linear equation and inequality in one variable (M7AL-llh-4)

II. Key Concepts:

ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS, EQUATIONS and INEQUALITIES

Algebraic expression – is a mathematical phrase that uses variables,

numerals, and operation symbols.
Algebraic equation – is a statement that the two numbers or two expressions
are equal
Inequality – is a mathematical sentence that contains the symbols >,<, ≥, ≤, or ≠

Algebraic Expressions Algebraic Equations Mathematical

Inequality
x+2 3+2=5 3x + 1 < 0
2x - 5 2x – 5 = 4 –1 > 2 – x
x x=2 x–3≤5
7 7=3–x Y≥8
¾x–4 x + 3 = 2x - 4 m–3≠m–2

First Degree Equations in one Variable

First degree equations in one variable is an equation that can be written in the
form ax + b = c, where a and b are constants and a ≠ 0.
Remember the letter x represents a variable of degree 1.

First Degree Inequalities in one Variable

First-degree inequality in one variable that has a degree of one and uses one
variable and any of the symbols >, <, ≤ and ≥, instead of the equal ( = ) sign.

III. Guided Practice:

Examples of First Degree Equations in one Variable:
1. 3x + 4 = 7 is a first degree equation in one variable.
It uses only one variable which is x and has a degree of 1.
2. 3m + 5 = 2m + 4 is a first degree equation in one variable.
It uses only one variable which is m and has a degree of 1.
3. 7a – 9b = 0 is not a first degree equation in one variable.
It uses two variables which are a and b.
4. x2 + 7x + 12 = 0 is not a first degree equation in one variable.
It uses only one variable which is x but it has a degree of 2.

 Examples of First Degree Inequalities in one Variable:

1. 5x - 7 > 8 is a first degree inequality in one variable.

It uses only one variable which is x and has a degree of 1.
The inequality symbol “>“ is read as “is greater than”.
2. 4x + 2 < 5x + 3 is a first degree inequality in one variable.
It uses only one variable which is x and has a degree of 1.
The inequality symbol “< “ is read as “is less than.”
3. 2x – 2y ≥10 is not a first degree inequality in one variable.
It uses two variables which are x and y.
The inequality symbol “≥” is read as “is greater than or equal to”.
4. x2 – 4y ≤ 6 is not a first degree inequality in one variable.
It uses only one variable which is x but it has a degree of 2.
The inequality symbol “≤” is read as “is less than or equal to”.

IV. Independent Practice

Activity 1. Let’s Match it Up!
The table below show the three columns: A, B and C. Column A contains algebraic expressions,
Column B contains algebraic equations while Column C contains inequalities. Compare the
items under each column and answer the questions that follow. Write your answer on your sheet
of paper.

2x + 5 2x + 5 = 9 2x + 5 >8

x–3 x–3=8 x – 3 < 10

x+7 x + 7 = 12 x + 7 ≥ 12

3y – 1 3y – 1 = 5 3y – 1 ≤ 5

x+8 x + 8 = 12 x + 8 ≠ 14
