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
|3x|=|2x+10|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||3x|=|2x+10|
x=+y(3x)=(2x+10)
x=y(3x)=(2x+10)
+x=y(3x)=(2x+10)
x=y(3x)=(2x+10)

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|=|2x+10|
x=+y , +x=y(3x)=(2x+10)
x=y , x=y(3x)=(2x+10)

2. Solve the two equations for x

3 additional steps

3x=(2x+10)

Subtract from both sides:

(3x)-2x=(2x+10)-2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=(2x+10)-2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

x=(2x-2x)+10

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=10

8 additional steps

3x=-(2x+10)

Expand the parentheses:

3x=2x10

Add to both sides:

(3x)+2x=(-2x-10)+2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x=(-2x-10)+2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

5x=(-2x+2x)-10

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x=10

Divide both sides by :

(5x)5=-105

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-105

3. List the solutions

x=10,2
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|3x|
y=|2x+10|
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.
