To simplify the solutions, remember the following

steps below.
Steps in Solving Problems Involving Linear
Inequalities in Two Variables
Step 1: Identify the words needed to be
represented with variables/symbols.
Step 2: Translate the statement into
mathematical expression.
Step 3: Identify what is asked in the problem
then solve.
Illustrative Example 1.

greater than 𝑃200. The allowance is budgeted


Your parents give you a weekly allowance

𝑃70 for your school needs, what would be the


for your food and school needs. If you allotted

minimum budget for your food?


Solution:
Step 1: Identify the words needed to be

Let 𝑥 represents the budget for the school needs


represented with variables/symbols.

Let 𝑦 represents the budget for food


The symbol for greater than is “>”
mathematical expression. 𝑥 + 𝑦 > 200
Step 2: Translate the statement into

Step 3: Identify what is asked in the problem then


Solve for 𝑦 given 𝑥=70
solve.
𝑥 + 𝑦 > 200
𝑥 − 𝑥 + 𝑦 > 200 − 𝑥
Given
By adding the additive
inverse on

𝑦 > 200 − 𝑥
both sides of the inequality

𝑦 > 200 − 70 By substituting 𝑥 = 70


By simplifying

𝑦 > 130 Simplified


This means that the minimum budget for the form
food in a week is ₱130.
Illustrative Example 2

₱3,021 for food (𝑓) and educational expense


In a week, Martinez family spends less than

(𝑒). Suppose the family spent ₱1000 for


education, what could be the family’s
maximum possible expenses for food?
Illustrative Example 3

(𝑚) and Rhea (𝑟) is at least 5 cm. If Rhea’s


The difference between the height of Mark

height is 160 cm, what is the least possible


height of Mark?
Illustrative Example 4
Abby enjoys gardening. She has snake plant
and rose plant in her garden. Every snake
plant requires 0.5 liters of water and every
rose plant requires 0.3 liters of water. Abby has
a maximum of 5 liters of water for watering
the snake plants and the rose plants. If Abby
waters 10 rose plants, how many snake plants
can she water at most with the amount of
water left?
