A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS
Now that we know how to solve linear equations in one
variable, let us try applying what we learned in real-life
problems. In this lesson, we shall tackle problems involving
unknown numbers, sums of quantities, supplementary
and complementary angles, consecutive integers,
perimeters, proportions, rates, mixtures, simple interest
and denominations of money, distance, rate, and time.
Whew! We can also actually apply linear equations in one
variable in converting a non-terminating but repeating
decimal to a fraction, and you will discover the method
when you answer the Mastery Drills.

Step 2: Represent the supplement and the complement. Let 180-x be the supplement.
Let 90-x be the complement.
Step 3: Translate into equation. 180 - x = 3(90 - x) - 20
Step 4: Solve the equation.
Use DP 180 - x = 270 - 3x - 20
Combine the constants 180 - x = 250 - 3x
Use APE (Subtract 180) 180 - 180 - x = 250 - 180 - 3x
Subtract -x = 70 - 3x
Use APE (Add 3x) -x + 3x = 70 - 3x + 3x
Add 2x = 70
Use MPE (Divide by 2) 2x/2 = 70/2
Divide x = 35 (measure of the angle)
LBLASETJR⎮ UP RURAL HIGH SCHOOL AY 2024-2025

Solve for the supplement: 180 - 35 = 145

Solve for the complement: 90 - 35 = 55
Step 5: Check the answer.

the width of the lot?
Solution:
Step 1: Represent the width of the lot by W. Let W be the width of the lot.
Step 2: There are no other unknown measurements to find.
Step 3: Translate into equation.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2L+2W, where L is the

ethyl alcohol with some 40% ethyl alcohol to get a mixture that is
60% ethyl alcohol. How many milliliters of the 40% ethyl alcohol
should be used?
Solution:
Step 1: Represent the volume of 40% alcohol by x.
Let x be the volume of 40% alcohol needed.
Step 2: There are no other unknown volumes to find. It is recommended to use box

Step 3: Translate into equation. The number of mL of pure alcohol in the 40% solution
added to the number of mL of pure alcohol in the 70% solution will equal the number
of mL of pure alcohol in the resulting mixture (60% ethyl alcohol)
Thus, 0.40x + 0.70(300) = 0.60(300 + x)
Step 4: Solve the equation.
Multiply by 100 to clear decimals. 40x + 70(300) = 60(300 + x)
Simplify and use DP 40x + 21000 = 18000 + 60x
Use APE (Subtract 21000) 40x + 21000 - 21000 = 8000 - 21000 + 60x
Subtract 40x = -3000 + 60x
Use APE (Subtract 60x) 40x - 60x = -3000 + 60x - 60x
Subtract -20x = -3000
Use MPE (Divide by -20) (-20x)/(-20)=(-3000)/(-20)

Lesson 2.4.3 Discussion

Example 9: Maron receives an inheritance from his grandmother.

He plans to invest part of it in a mutual fund that earns 12% annual
simple interest and ₱50,000 more than this amount in a time
deposit that earns 5% simple interest per annum. To earn ₱45,000
per year in interest, how much should he invest at each rate?
Solution:
Step 1: Represent the amount to be invested at 12% by x.
Let x be the amount to be invested at 12% interest.
Step 2: Represent the amount to be invested at 5%.
Let x + 50000 be the amount to be invested at 5% interest.
It is recommended to use charts to organize the information in this “simple
interest” problem:

Amount invested in pesos Rate of Interest Interest for One Year

x 0.12 0.12x
x + 50,000 0.05 0.05(x + 50,000)
LBLASETJR⎮ UP RURAL HIGH SCHOOL AY 2024-2025

Step 3: Translate into equation. The interest earned from the mutual fund (12%
interest rate per year) plus the interest earned from the time deposit (5% interest rate
per year) equals the desired total interest of ₱45,000 earned in a year.
Thus, 0.12x + 0.05(x + 50,000) = 45,000
Step 4: Solve the equation.
Multiply by 100 to clear decimals 12x + 5(x + 50,000) = 4,500,000
Use DP 12x + 5x + 250,000 = 4,500,000
Combine like terms 17x + 250,000 = 4,500,000
Use APE (Subtract 250000) 17x + 250,000 - 250,000 =
4,500,000 - 250,000
Subtract 17x = 4,250,000
Use MPE (Divide by 17) 17x/17 = 4,250,000/17
Divide x = 250,000
Solve for the other amount x + 50,000 = 300,000
Step 5: Check the answer. Will 12% of ₱250,000 plus 5% of ₱300,000 earn Maron a
total interest of ₱45,000 every year? Yes, because 250,00(0.12) + 300,000(0.05) =
45,000 or 30,000 + 15,000 = 45,000.

Step 6: Answer the question. Maron should invest ₱250,000 at 12% interest rate
and ₱300,000 at 5% interest rate for him to earn a total of ₱45,000 in interest
per year.

Lesson 2.4.3 Discussion

Example 10: Two ambulances leave Naga City, at the same time
and travel to Manila on the expressway. One travels at a constant
speed of 60 kilometers per hour and the other travels at a constant
speed of 80 kilometers per hour. In how many hours will the
distance between them be 30 kilometers?
Solution:
Step 1: Represent the time (in hours) when the distance between them is 30 km by x.
Let x be the number of hours until the distance between them is 30 km.
Step 2: There are no other unknown quantities. It is recommended to use charts to
organize the information in this “distance-rate-time” problem:

Step 3: Translate into equation. The difference between the two ambulances after x
hours is 30 km. Thus, 80x - 60x = 30

Step 4: Solve the equation.

Combine like terms 20x = 30
Use MPE (Divide by 20) 20x/20 = 30/20
Divide x = 1.5
Step 5: Check the answer. Will the two ambulances leaving Naga City at the same
time going to the same destination, one travelling at 60kph, and the other at 80 kph,
be 30 km apart after 1.5 hours? Yes, because 80(1.5) - 60(1.5) = 30
or 120 - 90 = 30.
Step 6. Answer the question.
The distance between the two ambulances will be 30 km after 1.5 hours.

Solve each problem. Show the six steps if applicable.

1. If 2 is added to a number and the sum is tripled, the result is 15 more than
twice the number. Find the number.
2. The Philippine Senate has 24 members. After the 2019 elections, there were 14
more administration senators than opposition senators. How many members
of the opposition were there in the Senate?
3. Find the measure of an angle whose supplement measures 15 more than
twice the measure of its complement.
4. Find two consecutive even integers such that the larger added to four times
the smaller gives a sum of 162.
5. The volume of three-dimensional object is a measure of the space occupied
by the object. For example, we would need to know the volume of a
rectangular fish tank in order to know how many cubic meters (m³) of water it
would take to completely fill the tank. The volume of a rectangular tank is
given by the formula V = LWH, where V is the volume (in cubic meters), L is
the length of the tank (in meters), W is the width of the tank (in meters), and
H is the height of the tank (in meters). Solve the formula for H; and if L=2m,

W=1.5m, and the volume of the tank, V=2.25 m³, find the height of the tank.

6. Refer to the figure below. It shows two intersecting lines forming angles
labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Angles 1 and 3 lie “opposite” each other. They are called
vertical angles. Another pair of vertical angles are 2 and 4. Vertical angles
always have equal measures.

Did You Know?

George Polya, known as the father of

modern problem solving, did extensive
studies and wrote numerous mathematical
papers and three books about problem
solving.

Polya created his famous four-step process for problem

solving (included in his book How To Solve It), which is
used all over to aid people in problem solving:
Step 1: Understand the problem.
Step 2: Devise a plan (translate).
Step 3: Carry out the plan (solve).
Step 4: Look back (check and interpret).
