Exact form: x=425,-421
x=\frac{4}{25} , -\frac{4}{21}
Decimal form: x=0.16,0.190
x=0.16 , -0.190

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
|23x|=|2x+4|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||23x|=|2x+4|
x=+y(23x)=(2x+4)
x=y(23x)=(2x+4)
+x=y(23x)=(2x+4)
x=y(23x)=(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||23x|=|2x+4|
x=+y , +x=y(23x)=(2x+4)
x=y , x=y(23x)=(2x+4)

2. Solve the two equations for x

5 additional steps

23x=(-2x+4)

Add to both sides:

(23x)+2x=(-2x+4)+2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

25x=(-2x+4)+2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

25x=(-2x+2x)+4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

25x=4

Divide both sides by :

(25x)25=425

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=425

6 additional steps

23x=-(-2x+4)

Expand the parentheses:

23x=2x4

Subtract from both sides:

(23x)-2x=(2x-4)-2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

21x=(2x-4)-2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

21x=(2x-2x)-4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

21x=4

Divide both sides by :

(21x)21=-421

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-421

3. List the solutions

x=425,-421
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|23x|
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.
