QUESTION 1

Daud and Jerry berkongsi 30 biji durian. Daud mendapat 6 biji durian lebih daripada Jerry. Cari
bilangan durian yang diperoleh Daud dan Jerry masing-masing.
Daud and Jerry share 30 durians. Daud gets 6 durians more than Jerry. Find the number of
durians received by Daud and Jerry respectively.

Solution:

Situation 1: Total durians = 30 plus

Situation 2: Daud gets 6 durians more than Jerry

Let 𝒙 = the number of durians received by Daud

𝒚 = the number of durians received by Jerry


You may use
𝑥 + 𝑦 = 30 ________(1)
SUBSTITUTION METHOD or
𝑥 =6+𝑦 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 6 ________(2) ELIMINATION METHOD
(1) − (2):

𝑦 + 𝑦 = 24
2𝑦 = 24
24
𝑦=
2
𝑦 = 12
Substitute 𝑦 = 12 into (1), 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 30

𝑥 + 12 = 30
𝑥 = 30 − 12
𝑥 = 18
𝑥

The number of durians received by Daud =

The number of durians received by Jerry =


QUESTION 2

Jumlah jisim Fatin dan Hanim ialah 68 kg. Fatin adalah 6 kg lebih ringan daripada Hanim. Cari
jisim setiap orang.
The total mass of Fatin and Hanim is 68 kg. Fatin is 6 kg lighter than Hanim. Find their
respective masses.

Solution:

Situation 1: Total mass = 68 minus


Situation 2: Fatin is 6 kg lighter than Hanim

Let 𝒙 = Fatin’s mass

𝒚 = Hanim’s mass
________(1)
𝑥 =6−𝑦 ________(2)
(1) − (2): 𝑦 − (−𝑦) = 68 − 6 Both coefficients
𝑦 + 𝑦 = 62 are positive, use

𝑦 = 31
Substitute 𝑦 = 31 into (1), 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 68

𝑥 + 31 = 68
𝑥 = 68 − 31
𝑥 = 37
𝑥

Fatin’s mass =

Hanim’s mass =
QUESTION 3

3 buah buku dan 2 batang pen berharga RM135 manakala 2 buah buku dan 3 batang pen
berharga RM140. Hitung harga bagi setiap barang itu.
3 books and 2 pens cost RM135 while 2 books and 3 pens cost RM140. Calculate the cost of
each item.

Solution:

Situation 1: 3 books and 2 pens cost RM135

Situation 2: 2 books and 3 pens cost RM140

Let 𝒙 = the cost of a book

𝒚 = the cost of a pen


3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 135 ________(1)
2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 140 ________(2) Both coefficients
are positive, use
(1) × 2: 6𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 270 _________(3) (−).
(2) × 3: 6𝑥 + 9𝑦 = 420 _________(4)

(1) − (2): 4𝑦 − 9𝑦 = 270 − 420

** 6𝑥 − 6𝑥 = 0 −5𝑦 = −150
−150
𝑦=

𝑦 = 30
Substitute 𝑦 = 30 into (1), 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 135

3𝑥 + 2(30) = 135
3𝑥 + 60 = 135
3𝑥 = 135 − 60

3𝑥 = 75
