Lesson 5 – Applications of Linear Equations: Part 2

        Sa nakaraang mga aralin ay nai-apply natin ang ating natutunang konsepto at pamamaraan sa paglutas ng mga word problems na kinasasangkutan ng linear equations na may kinalaman sa number, geometric, at work problems. Ang ating leksyon sa kasalukuyan ay nakapokus naman sa mga word problems na may kinalaman sa uniform motion, investment, at mixture problems.

Uniform Motion Problems

        Ang mga problemang may kinalaman sa distansya, d, oras, t, at uniform rate, r, ay tinatawag na mga uniform motion problems. Ang uniform motion ay isang paggalaw sa isang tuwid na linya na may pare-parehong bilis o velocity.
Ang mga problemang ito ay madalas na nililinaw sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng sketch ng mga relasyon na kasangkot.

Sa ganitong mga klase ng word problem, dapat nating alalahanin ang ugnayan ng speed, time, at rate sa isa’t isa. Ito ay sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng isa sa kanilang mga formula.

        Karaniwan na nating naririnig ang salitang “80 km/hr” (80 kilometers per hour) na kumakatawan sa bilis (speed o rate (r)  ng isang sasakyan o bagay na gumagalaw. Ang 80 km ay kinakatawan ng distance (d) o distansyang tinakbo, ang hour naman ay ang time (t) o oras. Samakatuwid, ang rate = distance/time o r = d/t.
Mula sa pormulang ito ay makukuha rin natin ang relationship ng distance (d) sa time (t) at rate (r), gayundin ang time (t) sa distance (d) at rate (r). Gawin natin.

r = d/t ==> t(r = d/t) ==> rt = d or d = rt, ibig sabihin, ang distance (d) ay rate (r) multiply by time (t).

Mula sa d = rt ==> d/r = rt/r ==> d/r = t or t = d/r.
Ibig sabihin nito, ang time (t) ay distance (d) divided by rate (r).

        Isulat nating muli ang ating nakuhang pormula o relationship, kung saan ang
 r = rate, d = distance, at t = time. Kailangan natin ang kaalamang ito sa pagsagot ng uniform motion problems.
r = d/t
d = rt
t = d/r

Hindi kailangang saulunin lahat ang mga pormula. Isang pormula ay sapat na dahil makukuha natin ang iba pang pormula mula rito tulad nang ginawa natin sa nakaraang pahina.


HALIMBAWA 1

A policeman on a motorcycle is pursuing a car the speed of which is 115 kilometers per hour. The policeman is 6 km behind the car and is moving at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour. How long will it take the policeman to overtake the car?

I-sketch natin ang ating problema.


        Gumawa tayo ng table o talahanayan upang madaling malutas ang ating problema.


        Upang makumpara ang distansya ng dalawang sasakyan, dapat ay iisa ang starting point ng mga ito. Ang pinili kong starting point ay ang car na kakatawanin ng x. Ang motorcycle ay naging  x + 6, dahil ang pagitan nito sa car ay 6 km na.

Mamaya ay kukunin natin ang starting point ng motorcycle at ikumpara natin kung pareho ang ating magiging sagot.

        Distance traveled by motorcycle:
x + 6 = 130t

Isolate x:
x = 130t – 6 (Transposition)

Distance traveled by car:
x = 115t

Equate the two equations:
Since they have the same distance traveled as x.
          130t – 6 = 115t
        130t – 115t – 6 + 6 = 115t – 115t + 6 (Transposition)          15t = 6
            15t/15 = 6/15
                     t = 6/15
                     t = 2/5 (Simplification)

Thus, the motorcycle will catch up with the car after 2/5 of an hour or 24 minutes ==> ( 2/5 hr (60 min/hr) = 120/5 = 24 min.)

        Kung ang distance ng motorcycle ang ating magiging starting point, ganito na ang kalalabasan:

Distance traveled by motorcycle:
x = 130t

Distance traveled by car:
x – 6 = 115t

Kaya x – 6 dahil mas malayo na ng 6 km ang car mula sa motorcycle.

Isolate x:
x – 6 = 115t
      x = 115t + 6

Equate the two equations:
   130t = 115t + 6
130t – 115t = 115t – 115t + 6 (Transposition)
     15t = 6
        15t/15 = 6/15
         t = 6/15 or 2/5 or 24 minutes

Makikita na pareho lang ang ating nakuhang sagot.


HALIMBAWA 2

A car and a bus set out at 2 p.m. from the same point, headed in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the bus. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the bus. Find the rate of the car.

Illustrate the problem:


        Ilagay natin sa table ang ating mga given data:


        Distance traveled by car:
d + 20 = (2r – 30)2 (Equation 1)

Distance traveled by bus:
d = 2r (Equation 2)

        We can substitute Equation 2 into Equation 1 to find r.
     d + 20 = (2r – 30)2
     2r + 20 = (2r – 30)2
      2r + 20 = 4r – 60
      2r + 20 – 20 – 4r = 4r – 60 – 4r – 20
             -2r = -80
         -2r/-2 = -80/-2
                r = 40 mph ==> rate of bus

              2r – 30 = 2(40) – 30
                  = 80 - 30
                  = 50 mph ==> rate of car

Thus, the rate of the car is 50 mph.

        Let us check our answer by substituting our values into our original equations.

For Equation 1:
  d + 20 = (2r – 30)2
80 + 20 ≟ [2(40) – 30]2
80 + 20 ≟ (80 – 30)2
80 + 20 ≟ 100
       100 = 100

For Equation 2:
   d = 2r
80 ≟ 2(40)
80 = 80 

Since our left and right terms for our original equations are balanced, our answer is correct.

Investment Problems

        Ang ilang mga problema sa pamumuhunan ay gumagamit ng formula ng interes na I = PRT. Sa formula na ito, kinakatawan ng I ang interes, P, ang principal o halagang pinuhunan, R (%), ang rate ng interes at T, ang oras. Para sa mga layunin ng ating talakayan, dapat nating ipagpalagay na R ang taunang rate ng interes at ang T ay ibibigay sa mga taon (years).

Karamihan sa mga problema sa pamumuhunan ay nagsasangkot ng mga equation na may mga decimal coefficient. Ang nasabing equation ay maaaring malutas sa pamamagitan ng pagpaparami ng magkabilang panig ng equation sa pamamagitan ng power of 10 upang makakuha ng katumbas na equation na may mga whole number coefficients. 


HALIMBAWA 3

An investment counselor invested 75% of a client’s money into a 9% annual simple interest money market fund. The remainder was invested in 6% annual simple interest government securities. Find the amount invested in each if the total annual interest earned is ₱3300.

    Let x = total amount invested 
0.75x = amount invested in the market fund
0.25x = amount invested in government securities

        Gumawa tayo ng table para maging malinaw ang lahat.


        Set up our equation:

0.75x(0.09) + 0.25x(0.06) = 3300
                   .0675x + .015x = 3300
                       1000(.0825x = 3300)
                            825x/825 = 3300000/825
                                         x = ₱40000 ==> total amount invested

                  0.75x = 0.75(40000) = ₱30000 ==> invested in money market
                 0.25x = 0.25(40000) = ₱10000 ==> invested in government securities

        Substitute 40,000 as the value of x into the original equations to check if our answer is correct.

             0.75x(0.09) + 0.25x(0.06) = 3300
0.75(40,000)(0.09) + 0.25(40,000)(0.6) ≟ 3300
                                    2,700 + 600 ≟ 3300
                                               3,300 = 3300

Since we got equality, our answer is correct. 


HALIMBAWA 4

A man invests x pesos in bonds and ₱8000 more than this in stocks. How much did he invest in stocks if his total investment is ₱15000?

Let x = investment in bonds
x + 8000 = investment in stocks

Our equation:
   x + x + 8000 = 15000
               2x + 8000 = 15000
   2x + 8000 – 8000 = 15000 – 8000
           2x = 7000
        2x/2 = 7000/2
             x = ₱3500 ==> invested in bonds

                x + 8000 = 3500 + 8000 = 11500

Thus, ₱11500 is invested in stocks.

Substitute 3500 as the value of x into our original equation to check if our answer is correct.

    x + x + 8000 = 15000
        3500 + 3500 + 8000 ≟ 15000
               15000 = 15000

Since we got equality, our answer is correct.

Mixture Problems 

        Ang isang paraan ng pagsusuri at paglutas ng mga mixture problems ay inilalarawan sa sumusunod na halimbawa.


HALIMBAWA 5

Tom and Jerry blended a chocolate mix that sells for ₱5 by mixing two types of chocolate. If they used 80 mL of chocolate that costs ₱6, how much of another chocolate costing ₱3 did they mix with the first?

    Let x = amount of ₱3 chocolate mixed with ₱6 chocolate

        Kung hindi pa bihasa sa ganitong klaseng problema, makatutulong nang malaki ang paggawa ng table upang ilagay ang ating mga datos.


        Set up our equation:
          3x + 6(80) = 5(80 + x)
            3x + 480 = 400 + 5x
          3x + 480 – 5x – 480 = 400 + 5x – 5x – 480
                     -2x = - 80
                -2x/-2 = -80/2
                        x = 40

Thus 40 mL of chocolate @ ₱3 is needed for the mix.

        Ihalili natin ang 40 bilang value ng x sa ating orihinal na equation upang matiyak na tumpak ang ating sagot.

  3x + 6(80) = 5(80 + x)
     3(40) + 6(80) ≟ 5(80 + 40)
          120 + 480 ≟ 5(120)
             600 = 600

Dahil ang ating nakuha ay balanse, tumpak ang ating sagot.

HALIMBAWA 6

A chemist has 10 mL of a solution that contains 30% acid. How many mL of pure acid must be added to it in order to increase its acid content to 50%?

    Let x = amount of pure acid to be added

        Set up our equation:
(10 + x) (0.5) = 3 + x
         5 + 0.5x = 3 + x
   10(5 + 0.5x = 3 + x)
          50 + 5x = 30 + 10x
50 + 5x – 50 – 10x = 30 + 10x – 10x – 50
                 -5x = -20
            -5x/-5 = -20/-5
                    x = 4 

Thus, 4 ml of pure acid must be added to the solution to make its acid content 50%.

        Substitute 4 for x into our original equation to check if our answer is correct.

(10 + x) (0.5) = 3 + x
(10 + 4) (0.5) ≟ 3 + 4
          14(0.5) ≟ 7
                    7 = 7

Since we got equality, our answer is correct.

Mga Sagot sa Pagsasanay 

Solve the following word problems and check your answers:

1.    Kiko and Kikay start from the same point and jog in opposite directions. Kiko jogs 4 km/h faster than Kikay. After 3 hours, they are 30 kilometers apart. How fast did each jog?

    Let r = Kikay’s speed or rate
  r + 4 = Kiko’s rate


        Let us create a table to illustrate our data:


        Set up our equation:
3r + 3(r + 4) = 30
3r + 3r + 12 = 30
        6r + 12 = 30
6r + 12 - 12 = 30 – 12 (Transposition)
                 6r = 18
             6r/6 = 18/6
                  r = 3 kph ==> Kikay’s rate

                    r + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7 kph ==> Kiko’s rate

        Thus, Kiko jogs at 7 kph while Kikay jogs at 3 kph.

        Check our answer:

     3r + 3(r + 4) = 30
3(3) + 3(3 + 4) ≟ 30
           9 + 3(7) ≟ 30
      9 + 21 ≟ 30
                     30 = 30

Since we got equality, our answer is correct.

We can also see in the equation that after 3 hours, Kikay jogged 9 km while Kiko jogged 21 km, a total of 30 km.


2.    Bongbong leaves his house riding a bike at 20 km/h. Leni leaves 4 hours later on a motorcycle to catch up with him traveling at 60 km/h. How long will it take her to catch up with him?

    Let t = Bongbong’s travel time
    t - 4 = Time Leni will catch up with Bongbong


        Tabulate the given data:


        Set up our equation:

Distance traveled by Bongbong:
d = 20t 

Distance traveled by Leni:
d = 60(t – 4)

Equate the two equations:
20t = 60(t – 4) 
                20t = 60t – 240
      -40t = -240 
       -40t/-40 = -240/-40
  t = 6 hours ==> Bongbong’s travel time
               
    t – 4 = 6 – 4 = 2 hours ==> Leni’s travel time

Thus, Leni will catch up with Bongbong after 2 hours.

        Distance covered by Bongbong after 6 hours:
20t = 20(6) = 120 km

Distance covered by Leni after 2 hours:
60(t – 4) = 60(6 – 2) = 60 (2) = 120 km

Substitute 6 as the value of t into our original equation to check our answer.

    20t = 60(t – 4)
20(6) ≟ 60(6 – 4)
  120 ≟ 60 (2)
  120 = 120

Since we got equality, our answer is correct.


3.    Manny invested ₱10,000, part at 6%, and the rest at 5%, in interest-bearing accounts. At the end of the year, his total investment income was ₱566. How much did Manny invest at each rate?

        Let     x   = amount invested in Account A 
at 6%
        10000 – x  = amount invested in Account B 
at 5%

        Prepare a table to illustrate our data:


        Set up our equation:
.06x + .05(10000 – x) = 566
.06x + .05(10000 – x) = 566
        .06x + 500 - .05x = 566
100[.06x + 500 - .05x = 566]
         6x + 50000 – 5x = 56600
                                 x = 56600 – 50000
                                 x = 6600

       10000 – x = 10000 – 6600  = 3400

Thus, Manny invested ₱6600 in Account A at 6% and ₱3400 in Account B at 5%.

Substitute 6600 for x into our original equation to check our answer.

    .06x + .05(10000 – x) = 566
     .06(6600) + .05(10000 – 6600) ≟ 566
             396 + .05(3400) ≟ 566
                       396 + 170 ≟ 566
                                  566 = 566

Since we got equality, our answer is correct.


4.    An investment of ₱6,000 is made at an annual simple interest rate of 6%. How much additional money must be invested at an annual simple interest rate of 10% so that the total annual interest earned is 9% of the total investment?

    Let x = Additional amount to be invested at 10%

Tabulate our given data:


        Set up our equation:

        360 + .10x = (6000 + x) (.09)
         360 + .10x = 540 + .09x
      360 + .10x – 360 - .09x = 540 + .09x - .09x – 360
                    .01x = 180
                    100(.01x = 180)
                        x = 18000

Thus, an additional ₱18000 must be invested so that the total annual interest earned is 9% of the total investment.  

        Let us substitute 18000 as the value of x into our original equation to check if our answer is correct.

            360 + .10x = (6000 + x)(.09)
360 + .10(18000) ≟ (6000 + 18000)(.09)
          360 + 1800 ≟ 24000(.09)
                     2160 = 2160

Since we got equality, our answer is correct.


5.    White sugar worth ₱70 per kilo is mixed with brown sugar worth ₱50 per kilo to obtain 50 kilos of a mixture worth ₱65 per kilo. How many kilos of each type is used?

    Let x = amount of white sugar
        50 – x = amount of brown sugar

Tabulate the given data:


        Set up our equation:
 
    70x + 50(50 – x) = 65(50)
   70x + 2500 – 50x = 3250
     20x + 2500 = 3250
         20x + 2500 – 2500 = 3250 – 2500
                 20x = 750
            20x/20 = 750/20
                     x = 37.5

  50 – x = 50 – 37.5 = 12.5  

Thus, our mixture needs 37.5 kg of white sugar and 12.5 kg of brown sugar.

        Substitute 37.5 as x into the original equation to check if our answer is correct.

    70x + 50(50 – x) = 65(50)
70(37.5) + 50(50 - 37.5) ≟ 3250
     2625 + 50(12.5) ≟ 3250
             2625 + 625 ≟ 3250 
                        3250 = 3250
Since our mathematical statement is balanced, our answer is correct.


6.    Solution A is 60% hydrochloric acid, while solution B is 85% hydrochloric acid. How many liters of each solution should be used to make 90 liters of a solution which is 75% hydrochloric acid?

Let    x = Amount of Solution A
   90 – x = Amount of Solution B

Let us tabulate our given data:

        
        Set up our equation:
   .60x + .85(90 – x) = .75(90)
    .60x + 76.5 - .85x = 67.5
  -.25x + 76.5 – 76.5 = 67.5 – 76.5
                -.25x = -9
       -100(-.25x = -9)
                  25x = 900
             25x/25 = 900/25
                      x = 36

      90 – x = 90 – 36 = 54

Thus, 36 liters of Solution A and 54 liters of Solution B should be used to make 90 liters of a solution which is 75% hydrochloric acid.

        Substitute the value of x which is 36 into our original equation to check if our answer is correct.

  .60x + .85(90 – x) = .75(90)
  .60(36) + .85 (90 – 36) ≟ 67.5
        21.6 + .85(54) ≟ 67.5 
             21.6 + 45.9 ≟ 67.5
                         67.5 = 67.5
Since we got equality, our answer is correct.
