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
|x+3|=|4x|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x+3|=|4x|
x=+y(x+3)=(4x)
x=y(x+3)=(4x)
+x=y(x+3)=(4x)
x=y(x+3)=(4x)

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||x+3|=|4x|
x=+y , +x=y(x+3)=(4x)
x=y , x=y(x+3)=(4x)

2. Solve the two equations for x

10 additional steps

(-x+3)=4x

Subtract from both sides:

(-x+3)-4x=(4x)-4x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(-x-4x)+3=(4x)-4x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

-5x+3=(4x)-4x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x+3=0

Subtract from both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x=03

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x=3

Divide both sides by :

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

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

5x5=-3-5

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-3-5

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

x=35

8 additional steps

(-x+3)=-4x

Subtract from both sides:

(-x+3)-3=(-4x)-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

-x=(-4x)-3

Add to both sides:

-x+4x=((-4x)-3)+4x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=((-4x)-3)+4x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

3x=(-4x+4x)-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=35,-1
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|x+3|
y=|4x|
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.
