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

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

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

2. Solve the two equations for x

3 additional steps

2x=(x+3)

Subtract from both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=(x+3)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

x=(x-x)+3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=3

7 additional steps

2x=-(x+3)

Expand the parentheses:

2x=x3

Add to both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=(-x-3)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

3x=(-x+x)-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=3

Divide both sides by :

(3x)3=-33

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-33

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=1

3. List the solutions

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

4. Graph

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