A. PRELIMINARIES
Greetings
Good morning, Sir!
Good morning, Class!
Before we start in our discussion,
let’s begin it to the opening
prayer. Please stand.
Prayer
Let us bow our head for
the word of prayer.
Student 1, please lead Student 1: (Sign of the cross)
Praise be the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
the prayer.
.
Now and forever. Amen.

Now, I will be checking your
attendance. As I call your name,
raise your hand and say present.
(calling their name)
Yes, Sir
Checking the Assignments
Do we have an assignment last
meeting?
Okay, exchange your paper with
your seatmate, and write
corrected by.
Okay, pass your paper without
any noise.
Motivation
Before we start to our
discussion, who can recall the
types of variation we discussed
Student 2: Direct variation
in the previous lesson? What are
those? Student 3: Inverse variation
Student 4: Joint variation
Student 5: Combine variation
Very good!
B. LESSON PROPER
1. Activity
Students quietly go their assigned areas.
2. Analysis
Our topic for today is Combined
Variation
Students read the directions together.
Before we formally start our
discussion, let us read first the
objectives for today’s lesson.

variation?
Student 5, please read.
Thank you, student 5.
Group 3: Direct and Inverse Variation
The statement ‘‘z varies directly
as x and inversely as y’’ means
kx zy
z= , or k = , where k is the
y x
constant of variation.
Yes sir
Now, I will give you an example
and try to translate the
mathematical statement into
mathematical equation.
Example 1:
T varies directly as a inversely as Student 4: Sir, I observed that we combined
b. the two types of variations
Okay, student 6? What is your
answer?
It’s all about combine variations
Very good!
Example 2:
Y varies directly as x and
inversely as the z.
Student 7? What is your answer?
Very good!
Example 3:
P varies directly as the square of
x and inversely as s.
Student 8? What is your answer?
Very good!
Example 4:
W varies jointly as c and a, and
inversely as b.
Did you get it class?
Okay. Student 5: Combined variation is another
physical relationship among variables. This
Here’s the steps on how to solve is the kind of variation that involves both

Yes, student 8?
That’s correct.
What are the steps in solving
problems involving combine
variation?
Very good class!
4. Application
Since, we are now done with our
lesson. Let us test your mind.
Now, we will be having an
activity.
Solve the following problems.
Yes, sir!
1. The healing power H of Estes’
skill varies directly with his
magic power M and inversely
with the number of allies N he
is healing. If Estes heals 120
HP when his magic power is
240 and he is healing 2 allies, Student 8: Combine variation is another

enemies N in the area. If
Balmond deals 800 damage
when his physical attack is
300 and there are 4 enemies,
how much damage will he
deal if there are 6 enemies
with the same physical
attack?
Answer key
Estes will heal 60 HP when healing 4
allies with the same magic power.
Lolita will generate 120 shield units
when protecting 5 teammates with
the same defense.
Balmond will deal approximately 267
damage if there are 6 enemies with
the same physical attack.
IV: EVALUATION
Solve the following.
1. y varies directly as x and inversely as the square of z, and when x = 32, y
= 6 and z = 4. Find x when y = 10 and z = 3.
2. If x varies as the square of y and inversely as z and x = 12 when y = 3
and z = 6, find x when y = 9 and z =6.
3. If r varies directly as s and inversely as the square of u, and r = 2 when s = 18 and u
= 2. Find r when u = 3 and s 27.
4. If r varies directly as s and inversely as the square of u, and r = 2 when s = 18 and u
= 2. Find s when u = 2 and r = 4.
5. If r varies directly as s and inversely as the square of u, and r = 2 when s = 18 and u
= 2. Find u when r = 1 and s = 36.
V: ASSIGNMENT
Solve the following.
1. The amount of gold G earned by a hero in Mobile Legends varies directly with the
number of minions M they kill and inversely with the time T spent. If a hero earns 200
gold for killing 10 minions in 5 minutes, how much gold will the hero earn for killing
15 minions in 10 minutes?
