Lesson 2 Translation of Verbal Statements into Equations
And Inequalities, (p. 126)
I. Specific Objectives
IV. Material
A. Drill
2. Check up homework.
C. Introduction / Motivation
“ Twice the number six subtracted from 20” is a number phrase. Who can
translate this to mathematical symbols? Can you find the value? Why?
D. Presentation
a. 4(2+3) – 16
c. x² + 5 , if x = 4 and y = 5
(y – 2 )²
(For exercises, refer to students’ textbook.)
E. Exploration
F. Generalization
a. 3x² d. x² + 2y – z
b. 2xyz e. 4x²yz²
3x + 2z
c. -5xy²
VI. Evaluation
1. 6(6 + 4)² ÷ 50 4. 56 ÷ 14 • 6 – 10
2. 48 • 4 ÷ 12 + 20 5. 10ab – 12a, if a = 6, b = 4
3. 10x + 4y, if x = 6, y = 8
A. Evaluate.
1. 16 ÷ 4 • 10 + 12 3. 8(20 + 12) – 18
2. 24 • 10 – 32 ÷ 4² 4. 95 – 12(6 ÷ 4) + 20
a. seven more than twice a number is four less than thrice the number.
Solution
a. If x is the number,
2x + 7 = 3x – 4
b. There are three numbers involved. Since they are consecutive, one
number is one more than the next higher number. If n is the least number, n + 1
and n + 2 are the next two numbers. Therefore,
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 93
Other exercises
I. Specific objective
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to solve literal
equations.
Harmonious relationships
IV. Materials
A. Drill / Review
a. x + 5 = 12 e. 6x = 18
b. 12 – x = 6 f. 4x = 28
c. x – 7 = 15 g. 5/6x = 5/6
d. 15 – 12 = x h. x/8 = 3
B. Introduction / Motivation
There are other types of equations besides the usual ones where
only one or two variables have known values. Most formulas have two
or more unknown variables.
C. Presentation
Solve for x: 6x = 24 + 4y
6x = 24 + 4y
6 4
X = 4 + 2/3y
Solving for y:
¯4y = 24 – 6x
4y
The values for x and y are still unknown unless a value is given to the
second variable. This is true for literal equations. The same properties of
equality and properties of real numbers are used.
Solve for h.
A = ½ bh or A = bh/2
2A = bh
h = 2A/b
