j=-3 , -1

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
|2j+3|=|j|
without the absolute value bars:

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

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

2. Solve the two equations for j

6 additional steps

(2j+3)=j

Subtract from both sides:

(2j+3)-j=j-j

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2j-j)+3=j-j

Permudahkan aritmetik:

j+3=jj

Permudahkan aritmetik:

j+3=0

Subtract from both sides:

(j+3)-3=0-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

j=03

Permudahkan aritmetik:

j=3

9 additional steps

(2j+3)=-j

Add to both sides:

(2j+3)+j=-j+j

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2j+j)+3=-j+j

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3j+3=j+j

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3j+3=0

Subtract from both sides:

(3j+3)-3=0-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3j=03

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3j=3

Divide both sides by :

(3j)3=-33

Permudahkan pecahan:

j=-33

Permudahkan pecahan:

j=1

3. List the solutions

j=3,1
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|2j+3|
y=|j|
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.
