Two Variables
=
| What's In
Recall the translation of a verbal sentence to an equation. For example,
translate the verbal sentence: “The difference of two numbers is 8.” to an equation.
The term “difference” means the answer of the subtraction. The two numbers
can be represented by two variables, say x and y. Thus, the correct mathematical
equation is x— y= 8.
In the next section, you will find out what kind of equation is the example
above.
What’s New
Linear equations in two variables is an equation that can be written in the
standard form Ax + By = C where A, B and C are real numbers but A and B cannot
both be zero.
The equation, x - y = 8, is an example of a linear equation in two variables
because it is expressed in the form Ax + By = C where A = 1, B =-1 and C =8.
Likewise, the exponent of the variables x and y are both equal to 1, which define a
linear equation in two variables.
Activity 1: Is That Me!
This activity will help you understand whether an equation can be written in
standard form Ax + By = C.
For example, 5x — 9y + 8 = 0 is a linear equation in two variables. It can be
written Ax +By = C as 5x 9y=-8.
Instruction: Put a check mark on yes if it can be written as Ax + By = C and no if
cannot be written
Equation Yes No
1 4x= 9
2 2x-y—
3 x+yWhat Is It
Determine whether or not each equation illustrates a linear equation in two
variables. If so, identify the values of A, Band C.
Mlustrative example 1: 5x = 10 + 3y
Solution: Express the equation into standard form Ax + By = C
x= 10+ 3y Since 5x = 10 + 3y can be expressed into the form
5x— 3y = 10 + 3y— 3y | ax + By = Cas 5x- 3y = 10, therefore it is a linear
5x— 3y=10 equation in two variable where, A = 5, B =— 3, and
c=10.
Illustrative example 2: y = 4x +9
Solution: Expressed the equation into standard form Ax + By = C
yaaxt9 Since y = 4x + 9 can be expressed into Ax + By =
¥—4x= 4K + 9— 4x C, 4x—y =~ 9, therefore it is a linear equation in
—axty=9 two variable where, A = 4, B=— 1 and C =— 9,
© 1) 4x +y) = (9-1)
4x-y=-9
Mlustrative example 3: 3x?- y= 9
This is not a linear equation because the exponent of x is 2.

Mlustrative example 4:— + y = 20

This is not a linear equation because a variable appears in the denominator of a
fraction
Mlustrative example 5: xy = 15
This is not a linear equation because the two variables are part of the same term.Dy What’s More
