I. Introduction: Have you ever wondered how businessmen nowadays make decisions? What guides
businessmen in making decisions? What are the tools that they use? How do they know when to increase or
decrease production? In this module, you will discover how important it is to utilize essential mathematical
skills to be able to understand these questions that arise in various real – life situations that we encounter
every day and use these skills wisely to be able to come up with the desired output.

Lesson 2: Applications of Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities in Two Variables
Note: To solve mathematical problems orderly, you have to follow these steps:
R – representation (assigning variables for the unknown values, “x and y”
E – equation (translating the given problem mathematically)
S – solution (computational part)
A – answer (statement form of the answer to the given problem)
For your understanding, open your textbook on pages 152 - 158. Read and examine the given examples.
Activity 2: Solve It!
Direction: Write the system of linear inequalities that describes the given situation. Define the variables for
each system. The first item is done for you.
1. Gil was asked by his mother to buy cement and gravel for the construction of the pathway in their
garden. A bag of cement costs ₱218, while a sack of gravel costs ₱110. Gil was given ₱2800 and cannot
spend more than that amount. He was also told that the number of bags of cement should be at least 2
more than the number of sacks gravel.
2. Kate babysits for ₱125 an hour and works as a barista for ₱150 an hour. She does both jobs to save at
least ₱5000 for her school books, and she can only work a maximum of 30 hours a week.
3. Grace makes bead bracelets and anklets and sells them to friends and family. It costs ₱22 to make a
bracelet and ₱30 to make an anklet. To make a profit, her total costs must be less than ₱280, and she
can produce no more than 16 pieces of jewelry per day.
