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
|4w+5|=|4w+9|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||4w+5|=|4w+9|
x=+y(4w+5)=(4w+9)
x=y(4w+5)=(4w+9)
+x=y(4w+5)=(4w+9)
x=y(4w+5)=(4w+9)

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||4w+5|=|4w+9|
x=+y , +x=y(4w+5)=(4w+9)
x=y , x=y(4w+5)=(4w+9)

2. Solve the two equations for w

5 additional steps

(4w+5)=(4w+9)

Subtract from both sides:

(4w+5)-4w=(4w+9)-4w

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(4w-4w)+5=(4w+9)-4w

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5=(4w+9)-4w

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

5=(4w-4w)+9

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5=9

Pernyataan ini palsu:

5=9

The equation is false so it has no solution.

12 additional steps

(4w+5)=-(4w+9)

Expand the parentheses:

(4w+5)=-4w-9

Add to both sides:

(4w+5)+4w=(-4w-9)+4w

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(4w+4w)+5=(-4w-9)+4w

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8w+5=(-4w-9)+4w

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

8w+5=(-4w+4w)-9

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8w+5=9

Subtract from both sides:

(8w+5)-5=-9-5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8w=95

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8w=14

Divide both sides by :

(8w)8=-148

Permudahkan pecahan:

w=-148

3. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|4w+5|
y=|4w+9|
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.
