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
|3y+5|=|3y+4|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||3y+5|=|3y+4|
x=+y(3y+5)=(3y+4)
x=y(3y+5)=(3y+4)
+x=y(3y+5)=(3y+4)
x=y(3y+5)=(3y+4)

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||3y+5|=|3y+4|
x=+y , +x=y(3y+5)=(3y+4)
x=y , x=y(3y+5)=(3y+4)

2. Solve the two equations for y

5 additional steps

(3y+5)=(3y+4)

Subtract from both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5=(3y+4)-3y

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

5=(3y-3y)+4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5=4

Pernyataan ini palsu:

5=4

The equation is false so it has no solution.

12 additional steps

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

Expand the parentheses:

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

Add to both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6y+5=(-3y-4)+3y

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

6y+5=(-3y+3y)-4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6y+5=4

Subtract from both sides:

(6y+5)-5=-4-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6y=45

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6y=9

Divide both sides by :

(6y)6=-96

Permudahkan pecahan:

y=-96

3. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|3y+5|
y=|3y+4|
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.
