Other Ways to Solve

Absolute value equations

Penjelasan langkah demi langkah

1. Rewrite the equation without absolute value bars

Use the rules:
|x|=|y|x=±y and |x|=|y|±x=y
to write all four options of the equation
|3x+2|=|2x+4|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||3x+2|=|2x+4|
x=+y(3x+2)=(2x+4)
x=y(3x+2)=(2x+4)
+x=y(3x+2)=(2x+4)
x=y(3x+2)=(2x+4)

When simplified, equations x=+y and +x=y are the same and equations x=y and x=y are the same, so we end up with only 2 equations:

|x|=|y||3x+2|=|2x+4|
x=+y , +x=y(3x+2)=(2x+4)
x=y , x=y(3x+2)=(2x+4)

2. Solve the two equations for x

9 additional steps

(3x+2)=(-2x+4)

Add to both sides:

(3x+2)+2x=(-2x+4)+2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(3x+2x)+2=(-2x+4)+2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x+2=(-2x+4)+2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

5x+2=(-2x+2x)+4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x+2=4

Subtract from both sides:

(5x+2)-2=4-2

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x=42

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x=2

Divide both sides by :

(5x)5=25

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=25

8 additional steps

(3x+2)=-(-2x+4)

Expand the parentheses:

(3x+2)=2x-4

Subtract from both sides:

(3x+2)-2x=(2x-4)-2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(3x-2x)+2=(2x-4)-2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x+2=(2x-4)-2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

x+2=(2x-2x)-4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x+2=4

Subtract from both sides:

(x+2)-2=-4-2

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=42

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=6

3. List the solutions

x=25,-6
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|3x+2|
y=|2x+4|
The equation is true where the two lines cross.

We encounter absolute values almost daily. For example: If you walk 3 miles to school, do you also walk minus 3 miles when you go back home? The answer is no because distances use absolute value. The absolute value of the distance between home and school is 3 miles, there or back.
In short, absolute values help us deal with concepts like distance, ranges of possible values, and deviation from a set value.
