 What’s In

A quadratic equation is given in the form of 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0,

where 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐 are real numbers and 𝑎 ≠ 0. The methods
in solving quadratic equations are factoring, extracting the
square roots, completing the square and quadratic formula.

Before you proceed to the next lesson, it is very important that you take a simple
recall on rewriting quadratic equations in the form of 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 = 𝟎 and solving
quadratic equations using any method. The exercises below will surely help you do
so.

 What is It

SOLVING RATIONAL ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS TRANSFORMABLE INTO

QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

There are equations that are transformable to quadratic

equations. These equations may be given in different forms,
hence, the procedures in transforming these equations into
quadratic equations may also be different. Let’s examine the
following illustrative examples.

Illustrative examples:
1 𝑥+2
1. Solve the rational algebraic equation + = 2.
𝑥 3
3(1) + 𝑥(𝑥+2)
=2 Get the LCD of 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 3 which is 3𝑥. So, 3𝑥 divided by 𝑥
3𝑥
is 3, then 3 times 1 and 3𝑥 divided 3 is 𝑥, then 𝑥 times
𝑥 + 2
3(1) + 𝑥(𝑥+2)
=2 Multiply 3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 1, and 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 + 2
3𝑥
3 + 𝑥 2 +2𝑥
=2 Cross-multiply: Mutiply 3𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 2 and 3 + 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 and 1
3𝑥

3 + 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 = 6𝑥 Transpose 6𝑥 to the left side of the equation

𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 6𝑥 + 3 = 0 Combine 2𝑥 and −6𝑥
𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 3 = 0 Solve the roots/solutions by factoring since the
equation is factorable.
(𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 − 1) = 0 So the factors of 𝑥 2 are 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 since 𝑥(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 and
the factors of 3 are −3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 − 1 since −3(−1) = 3 the
last term and −3 + −1 = −4 which is the middle term
𝑥−3= 0 ; 𝑥−1= 0 Equate the factors to zero
𝑥=3 ; 𝑥 = 1 Transpose −3 and −1 to the right side of the equation

8 4𝑚
𝑚 + 𝑚−2 = 1 + Get the LCD of both sides of
𝑚−2
the equation which is 𝑚 − 2

8 4𝑚
𝑚 − 2 (𝑚 + 𝑚−2) = (1 + 𝑚−2) (𝑚 − 2) Multiply both sides of the
equation by the LCD

𝑚(𝑚 − 2) + = 1(𝑚 − 2) + Simplify
𝑚−2 𝑚−2

𝑚2 − 2𝑚 + 8 = 𝑚 − 2 + 4𝑚 Add 𝑚 𝑎𝑛𝑑 4𝑚

𝑚2 − 2𝑚 + 8 = 5𝑚 − 2 Transpose 5m and − 2 to the

left side of the equation
𝑚2 − 2𝑚 − 5𝑚 + 8 + 2 = 0 Combine similar terms

𝑚2 − 7𝑚 + 10 = 0 Solve the roots by factoring

since it is factorable

(𝑚 − 5)(𝑚 − 2) = 0

𝑚−5=0 ; 𝑚−2=0

𝑚 = 5 ; 𝑚 = 2

5 is a solution/root. Observe that when 𝑚 = 2, the value of does not exist
𝑚−2

or undefined. The same true with . Hence, 𝑚 = 2 is an extraneous
𝑚−2
8 4𝑚
root/solution of the rational equation, 𝑚 + =1+ . An extraneous
𝑚−2 𝑚−2
solution is a root of a transformed equation that is not a root of the original
equation. However, it is not a solution/root of the original equation.

Again, in solving rational algebraic equations, transform

the given equation in the form of 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0 where
𝑎 > 0, then solve the equation using factoring, extracting
the square roots, completing the square or quadratic
formula. Now, let’s learn more…

SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

Now, we will solve various real-life applications of

quadratic equations. You may use whatever is the
most convenient method for you in solving the
quadratic equations.

Before you proceed to the next lesson, it is important to recall the basic steps
in solving word problems.

Steps:
1. Understand the problem.
2. Write the equation.
3. Solve the equation.

 4. Checking the solution.
Let us now examine and analyze the following illustrative examples.

Illustrative Examples:

1. The length of the rectangular garden of Juan is 5 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 longer than its width.
The area of the garden is 84 𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠. What are the dimensions of the
garden?

Understand the problem

Let 𝑥 = 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ
𝑥 + 5 = 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ

Write the equation

Let’s substitute the values in the formula for the area of a rectangle
𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 = 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ ∙ 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ
84 = (𝑥 + 5)(𝑥)

Solve the equation

84 = (𝑥 + 5)(𝑥) Apply Distributive Property of Multiplication

84 = 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 Transform the equation in 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0
𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 − 84 = 0 Solve by factoring since it is factorable
(𝑥 – 7)(𝑥 + 12) = 0

𝑥– 7 = 0 𝑥 + 12 = 0 Equate the factors to zero

𝑥 = 7 𝑥 = −12

Width

The width of the garden cannot be negative. Hence, the width represented as
𝑥 = 7 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 and the length represented as 𝑥 + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠. So,
the dimensions of the garden are 12 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 long and 7 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 wide.

2. The length of the base of the triangular sheet of canvass above the door of the
tent is 1 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 more than its height. The Area is 6 𝑚2 . Find the height and
length of the base of the triangle.

Understand the problem

Let 𝑥 = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒

𝑥 + 1 = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒

 Write the equation

Let’s substitute the values in the formula for the area of a triangle

𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 = 𝑏ℎ

Solve the equation

1
6 = 2 (𝑥 + 1)(𝑥) Multiply both sides of the equation by 2
1
2(6) = [2 (𝑥 + 1)(𝑥)] 2

12 = (𝑥 + 1)(𝑥) Apply distributive Property of Multiplication

12 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑥 Write the equation in 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0
𝑥 2 + 𝑥 − 12 = 0 Solve the equation using the Quadratic Formula,
Factoring or Completing the Square

= 1.56 Height

The height of the triangle cannot be negative, hence, the height is 3 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 and
the length of its base is 4 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠.

3. A rectangular table has an area of 27 𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡 and a perimeter of 24 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑡.

What are the dimensions of the table?

Understand the problem

The product of the length and width of a rectangular table rectangular table
represents its area.
𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎(𝐴) = 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ(𝑙) ∙ 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ(𝑤)
𝐴 = 𝑙𝑤

11
Twice the sum of the length and width of the rectangular table gives the
perimeter.
𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟(𝑃) = 2(𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔ℎ𝑡 + 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ)
𝑃 = 2(𝑙 + 𝑤)
𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤

Write the equation

Area of the rectangular table

𝐴 = 𝑙𝑤
27 = 𝑙𝑤 Equation 1

Perimeter of the rectangular table

𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤
24 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤 Divide both sides of the equation by 2
12 = 𝑙 + 𝑤 Equation 2
𝑙 = 12 − 𝑤 Solve for 𝑙 in terms of 𝑤
Equation 1
𝟐𝟕 = 𝒍𝒘
27 = (12 − 𝑤)(𝑤) Substitute 𝒍 = 𝟏𝟐 − 𝒘 in 𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝟏
27 = 12𝑤 − 𝑤 2 Apply distributive property of Multiplication

𝑤 2 − 12𝑤 + 27 = 0 Write the equation in 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0

Solve the equation

𝑤 2 − 12𝑤 + 27 = 0
(𝑤 − 3)(𝑤 − 9) = 0
𝑤−3 = 0 𝑤−9 = 0
𝑤=3 𝑤=9

Now, we solve for the length of the rectangular table:

𝐼𝑓 𝑤 = 3 𝐼𝑓 𝑤 = 9
𝑙 = 12 − 𝑤 𝑙 = 12 − 𝑤
𝑙 = 12 − 3 𝑙 = 12 − 9
𝑙 =9 𝑙=3

Since, the length is longer than its width, hence 𝑙 = 3 is disregarded as

the length of the rectangular table.

Therefore, the width of the table is 3 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 and its length is 9 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠.

Additional Activity

Activity 7. Let’s Us Analyze. Read, understand and solve the problem.

The Revenue (in pesos) earned by a company on the manufacture of 𝑠 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 of 70%
alcohol is
𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 = 𝑠 2 − 95𝑠 − 500

1. Compute its profit/loss if it manufactured 50 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 of 70% alcohol?

90 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 of 70% alcohol? 200 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 of 70% alcohol?

2. How many liters of 70% alcohol should be manufactured to break

even?

3. If its revenue was 𝑃ℎ𝑝 61 000, how many liters did it manufacture?
