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
|3x+5|=|5x3|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||3x+5|=|5x3|
x=+y(3x+5)=(5x3)
x=y(3x+5)=(5x3)
+x=y(3x+5)=(5x3)
x=y(3x+5)=(5x3)

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||3x+5|=|5x3|
x=+y , +x=y(3x+5)=(5x3)
x=y , x=y(3x+5)=(5x3)

2. Solve the two equations for x

13 additional steps

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

Subtract from both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x+5=3

Subtract from both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=35

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=8

Divide both sides by :

(-2x)-2=-8-2

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

2x2=-8-2

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-8-2

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

x=82

12 additional steps

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

Expand the parentheses:

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

Add to both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8x+5=(-5x+3)+5x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

8x+5=(-5x+5x)+3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8x+5=3

Subtract from both sides:

(8x+5)-5=3-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8x=35

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8x=2

Divide both sides by :

(8x)8=-28

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-28

Cari faktor sepunya terbesar bagi pembilang dan penyebut:

x=(-1·2)(4·2)

Faktorkan keluar dan hapuskan faktor sepunya terbesar:

x=-14

3. List the solutions

x=4,-14
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|3x+5|
y=|5x3|
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.
