Competency : Finds the solution of Linear Equations in one variable.
Topic : Finding the solution set of a linear equations and inequalities in one
variable.
Prepared by : Editha J. Quito
I. Discussion :
An equation is a mathematical sentence indicating that two expressions are equal. The
symbol “ = “ is used to denote equality.
A linear equation in one variable is one which can be written in the form of
ax + b = 0,where a and b are real number constants and a≠0.
1. 3x = 9 3. 4x + 2 = 10
2. 12- a = 12 4. x – 4 = 6
To solve an equation means to find its solution .The solution of the equation is the value of
the variable that will make the equation a true statement.
2. Symmetric Property – states that if a = b, then b = a. This allows interchanging the members of an
equation without affecting its equality.
Example : 8 = x + 3 is equal to x + 3 = 8
3. Transitive Property – states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c. In other words, two quantities which
are equal to the same quantity are also equal.
Example : If 6 + 1 = 7 and 7 = 8 – 1, then 6 + 1 = 8 – 1
4. Addition Property of Equality (APE) – states that if the same quantity is added to both sides of
the equation, the resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation.
If a, b, and c are real numbers and a = b,
Then , a+c = b+c
Example : If 6+3 = 9
Then, 6 + 3 + 4 = 9 + 4
13 = 13
5. Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE) – states that multiplying both sides of an equation by
the same number not equal to zero yield a new equation which is equivalent to the original.
For any three real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b and c ≠ 0, then
a(c ) = b(c)
Example : If 2(3) = 6
Then, 2(3)× 5 = 6 ×5
30 = 30
Note :
Multiplicative Inverse are two numbers whose product is equal to 1.

5. Solve x + 13 = 20
Solution : ( Short Method )
x + 13 = 20 Given
x = 20 – 13 Isolate the variable by transposing 13 to the other side of
the equation, change the sign from positive to negative.
x = 7 Combine the numerical terms.
By Checking :
x + 13 = 20
7 + 13 = 20 Replacing 7 to the variable since x = 7
20 = 20 The solution of the equation is 7, it makes the equation
a true statement.

Similar Fractions - These are fractions that have same or common denominator. They are also called
Like Fractions.
Least Common Multiple - is the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by every member
of a set of numbers. This is used to make a dissimilar fraction be similar by changing it into
an equivalent fraction having LCM as their common denominator. It is also called the
Least Common Denominator (LCD).

A polynomial is a kind of algebraic expression where each term is a constant, a variable or a product of a
constant and variable in which the variable has a whole number (non-negative number) exponent.

In a term 3x:

Multiplication of Polynomials
To multiply two monomials, multiply the numerical coefficients and combine the literal
coefficients according to the laws of exponents and the properties of multiplication.
Illustrative Examples :
Illustrative Examples :
To multiply a polynomial by another, multiply each term of the first binomial by each term
of the second binomial and then take the algebraic sum of these products.
Illustrative Examples :
1. (3x + 4 )( x - 8 ) = 3x (x - 8) + 4(x - 8)
= 3x2 - 24 x + 4 x - 32
= 3x2 - 20x - 32
We can also use the so-called FOIL Method to shorten the multiplication process
of two binomials. Under this method , the product of two binomials is the sum of the product of:
Illustrative Examples :
First terms Last terms F (3x)(x) = 3 x2
( 3 x + 4 )( x - 8 ) O ( 3 x ) (-8 ) = -24 x
I ( 4 )( x ) = 4x 20x
Outer terms Inner terms L ( 4 )(- 8) = -32
(y + 5)(y2 – 8y + 1) = y ( y2 – 8y + 1 ) + 5 ( y2 – 8y + 1)
= y3 – 8y2 + y + 5y2 – 40y + 5
= y3 – 3y2 – 39y + 5

visual description of a set of data, they are not always the most convenient. So now, you will explore ways of

Venn Diagram – named after the English logician James Venn, is a pictorial representation involving

the rectangle. The subset T consists of points within the circle. z ∈ 𝑻 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒛 ∈ U , but w ∈ 𝑼 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘 ∉ 𝑻.
Therefore, T ⊂ 𝑼.

Let the universal set U consisting of the counting numbers less than 26.
Let the two subsets of U, namely, the set A consisting of the even factors of 24 and the
Set B consisting of the even counting numbers less than 11. Then, we have

Operations on Sets
Union of Sets ( ∪ ) – is the set of all elements found in the given subsets of the universal set.
Let set A and set B are subsets of the universal set U. The union of sets A and B, denoted by
A ∪ B ( read as “ A union B”) , is the set of all elements found in A or B or in both A and B. In symbols,
We write A ∪ B = { x l x ∈ A or x ∈ B }.

I. Discussion
OPERATIONS ON INTEGERS
A. Addition of Integers
If the integers have the same sign, just add the positive equivalents of the integers and
attach the common sign to the result
Examples :
If the integers have different signs, get the difference of the positive equivalents of the
integers and attach the sign of the larger number to the result.
Examples :
1. 38 + (-20)
Get the difference between 38 and 20 : 38-20 = 18
Since 38 is greater than 20, the sign of the sum is positive
Answer : 38 + (-20) = + 18 or just simply 18
2. - 42 + 16
Get the difference between 42 and 16 : 42- 16 = 26
Since 42 is greater than 16, the sign is negative therefore the sum will have negative sign
Answer : - 42 + 16 = - 26
B. Subtracting Integers
The technique for changing subtraction problems into addition problems is extremely
mechanical. There are two steps:
Example 1: 3-4
According to step #1, we have to change the subtraction sign to an addition sign.
According to step #2, we have to take the opposite of 4, which is -4. Therefore the problem
becomes:
3 + (-4)
Example 3: 6 - (-20) = 6 + 20 = 26
Example 4: -7 - (-1) = -7 + 1 = -6
C. Multiplying Integers
Examples :
1. ( 5 ) ( 12 ) = 60 3. ( 9 )( 8 ) ( 9 ) = 648
2. ( - 8 ) ( - 4 ) = 32 4. ( -9 ) ( -8 ) = 72
Examples :
1. ( 4 )( -8 ) = - 32 3. (9)(8)(-9) = -648
2. ( -6 )( 8 ) = - 48 4. (-9)(-8)(-9) = -648
D. Dividing Integers
The rules for division are exactly the same as those for multiplication. If we were to
take the rules for multiplication and change the multiplication signs to division
signs, we would have an accurate set of rules for division.
Examples:
1. ( 9 ) ÷ 3 = 3 3. ( - 9 ) ÷ ( 3 ) = - 3
2. ( -20 ) ÷ ( - 4 ) = 5 4. ( 18 ) ÷ ( - 3 ) = - 6

Rational Numbers – a number which can be written as quotient ( ), of two integers where the
𝑏
divisor should not be equal to zero.
Examples : ½ , ¼, ¾,
Steps :
To express a fraction to decimal, we may express the fraction with a denominator that is a
power of ten or divide the numerator by the denominator.
Divisions are continued until the remainder 0 is reached. In such cases the decimal is a
terminating decimal. We can determine whether a fraction in lowest terms can be
expressed as terminating decimal by examining the denominator.
If the denominator has no prime factors other than 2 and 5, the fraction is
equal to a terminating decimal.
Examples :
If the denominator of a fraction in lowest term has a prime factor other than
2 and 5, the remainder o is not reached. Instead, some remainders keep
producing repeating digits in the quotient. Such a decimal is a repeating
decimal.
Examples :
1. 31⁄55 = 0.56363… Note : The 3 dots is called Ellipses means that the digits 63
Repeats without ending.

Every fraction can be expressed as either a terminating decimal or a
repeating decimal.

I. Discussion
To solve a word problem, one must know how to write equations. There are steps to follow when
writing the equation and finally finding its solution.
1. Read and understand the problem. Identify what is given and what is unknown. Choose a
variable to represent the unknown number.
2. Express the other unknown , if there are any, in terms of the variable chosen in step 1.
3. Write an equation to represent the relationship among the given and unknown/s.
4. Solve the equation for the unknown and use the solution to find the quantities being asked.
5. Check by going back to the original statement.
Illustrative Examples:
A. Number Problem
1. One number is 3 less than another number. If their sum is 49, find the two numbers.
Solution :
B. Age Problem
2. Six years ago, Mrs. De la Rosa was 5 times as old as her daughter Leila. How old is Leila now if her age
is one- third of her mother’s present age ?
Solution :
3. Christian can wash and wax one car in 3 hours. Jing can do the same in 4 hours. If they work together,
how long will it take them to wash and wax one car ?
Solution :
Step 1 : Let t be the time in hours for Christian and Jing to wash and wax one car
Step 2 : Christian can do one- third of the job in 1 hour.
Jing can do one-fourth of the job in 1 hour
