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

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

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

2. Solve the two equations for x

6 additional steps

(2x-5)=x

Subtract from both sides:

(2x-5)-x=x-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2x-x)-5=x-x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x5=xx

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x5=0

Add to both sides:

(x-5)+5=0+5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=0+5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=5

8 additional steps

(2x-5)=-x

Add to both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x5=x+x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x5=0

Add to both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=0+5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=5

Divide both sides by :

(3x)3=53

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=53

3. List the solutions

x=5,53
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

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