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
|2m+5|=|m|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||2m+5|=|m|
x=+y(2m+5)=(m)
x=y(2m+5)=(m)
+x=y(2m+5)=(m)
x=y(2m+5)=(m)

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||2m+5|=|m|
x=+y , +x=y(2m+5)=(m)
x=y , x=y(2m+5)=(m)

2. Solve the two equations for m

6 additional steps

(2m+5)=m

Subtract from both sides:

(2m+5)-m=m-m

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2m-m)+5=m-m

Permudahkan aritmetik:

m+5=m-m

Permudahkan aritmetik:

m+5=0

Subtract from both sides:

(m+5)-5=0-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

m=0-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

m=-5

8 additional steps

(2m+5)=-m

Add to both sides:

(2m+5)+m=-m+m

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2m+m)+5=-m+m

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3m+5=-m+m

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3m+5=0

Subtract from both sides:

(3m+5)-5=0-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3m=0-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3m=-5

Divide both sides by :

(3m)3=-53

Permudahkan pecahan:

m=-53

3. List the solutions

m=-5,-53
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|2m+5|
y=|m|
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.
