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
|2x+3|=|x5|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||2x+3|=|x5|
x=+y(2x+3)=(x5)
x=y(2x+3)=(x5)
+x=y(2x+3)=(x5)
x=y(2x+3)=(x5)

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||2x+3|=|x5|
x=+y , +x=y(2x+3)=(x5)
x=y , x=y(2x+3)=(x5)

2. Solve the two equations for x

7 additional steps

(2x+3)=(x-5)

Subtract from both sides:

(2x+3)-x=(x-5)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2x-x)+3=(x-5)-x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x+3=(x-5)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

x+3=(x-x)-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x+3=5

Subtract from both sides:

(x+3)-3=-5-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=53

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=8

10 additional steps

(2x+3)=-(x-5)

Expand the parentheses:

(2x+3)=-x+5

Add to both sides:

(2x+3)+x=(-x+5)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2x+x)+3=(-x+5)+x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x+3=(-x+5)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

3x+3=(-x+x)+5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x+3=5

Subtract from both sides:

(3x+3)-3=5-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=53

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=2

Divide both sides by :

(3x)3=23

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=23

3. List the solutions

x=-8,23
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|2x+3|
y=|x5|
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.
