A chocolate candy (x) cost ₱ 5, while a vanilla candy (y)

cost ₱ 2. Determine how many of each kind of candies you


can buy for ₱ 20.

• x represents the number of chocolate


candy (5x)
• y represents the number of vanilla candy
(2y)
• Combining the two expressions to be
equated to 20 (your total money) we will
have the equation 5x + 2y = 20.
Linear
Equation in
Two Variables
A Linear Equation in Two Variables is an
equation that can be written in the standard form
Ax + By = C
where A, B, C are real numbers, but A and B
cannot both be zero. The exponent on each
variable must be equal to 1 and there should not
be a term which contains the product or quotient of
two variables.
Determine whether or not each equation is a linear
equation in two variables. If so, identify the values of A, B,
C, if not, state the reason.

1) 5x – 3y = 10 A = 5, B = -3, C = 10

The exponents of the variables in a linear


2) 3x – y = 9

equation must be 1. Since the exponent of x
is 2, this is not a linear equation.

This is not a linear equation because a


3) + y = 3 variable appears in the denominator.
Determine whether or not each equation is a linear
equation in two variables. If so, identify the values of A, B,
C, if not, state the reason.

4) 3x – 2y = 0 A = 3, B = -2, C = 0
This is not a linear equation because there
5) xy = 10 is a product of two variables.

This is not a linear equation in two variables


6) 7x = 14 because obviously there is only 1 variable.

This is not a linear equation in two variables


7) 2x + 5y = -3z because obviously there are 3 variables.
Try This! Determine whether or not each equation is a
linear equation in two variables. If so, identify the values of
A, B, C.

1) 7xy = -10 5) 4x = 12
2) 4x - 2y = 15 6) 9x + 2y = 18
3) 8x3 + 2y = 10 7) 2x + 3y = 4z
4)+2𝑦=17 8) 4x – 6y = 0
1) This is not a linear equation because there is a product of two
variables.
2) A = 4, B = -2, C = 15
3) The exponents of the variables in a linear equation must be 1.
Since the exponent of x is 3, this is not a linear equation.
4) This is not a linear equation because a variable appears in the
denominator
5) This is not a linear equation in two variables because
obviously there is only 1 variable.
6) A = 9, B = 2, C = 18
7) This is not a linear equation in two variables because
obviously there are 3 variables.
8) A = 4, B = -6, C = 0
1) This is not a linear equation because there is a product of two
variables.
2) A = 4, B = -2, C = 15
3) The exponents of the variables in a linear equation must be 1.
Since the exponent of x is 3, this is not a linear equation.

8) A = 4, B = -6, C = 0
Determine if each equation is a linear equation in two variables. If yes,
identify the values of A, B, C, if no, state the reason.

The solution of linear equation in two variables is an ordered pair
that when substituted in the equation for x and y will result in a
true statement.
