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
|2y+5|=|2y+7|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||2y+5|=|2y+7|
x=+y(2y+5)=(2y+7)
x=y(2y+5)=(2y+7)
+x=y(2y+5)=(2y+7)
x=y(2y+5)=(2y+7)

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||2y+5|=|2y+7|
x=+y , +x=y(2y+5)=(2y+7)
x=y , x=y(2y+5)=(2y+7)

2. Solve the two equations for y

11 additional steps

(2y+5)=(-2y+7)

Add to both sides:

(2y+5)+2y=(-2y+7)+2y

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2y+2y)+5=(-2y+7)+2y

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4y+5=(-2y+7)+2y

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

4y+5=(-2y+2y)+7

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4y+5=7

Subtract from both sides:

(4y+5)-5=7-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4y=75

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4y=2

Divide both sides by :

(4y)4=24

Permudahkan pecahan:

y=24

6 additional steps

(2y+5)=-(-2y+7)

Expand the parentheses:

(2y+5)=2y-7

Subtract from both sides:

(2y+5)-2y=(2y-7)-2y

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(2y-2y)+5=(2y-7)-2y

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5=(2y-7)-2y

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

5=(2y-2y)-7

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5=7

Pernyataan ini palsu:

5=7

The equation is false so it has no solution.

3. List the solutions

y=12
(1 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|2y+5|
y=|2y+7|
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.
