x=0.875 , -0.417

Other Ways to Solve

Absolute value equations

Penjelasan langkah demi langkah

1. Rewrite the equation with one absolute value terms on each side

|5x-12|-|x+3|=0

Add |x+3| to both sides of the equation:

|5x-12|-|x+3|+|x+3|=|x+3|

Permudahkan aritmetik

|5x-12|=|x+3|

2. 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
|5x-12|=|x+3|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||5x-12|=|x+3|
x=+y(5x-12)=(x+3)
x=-y(5x-12)=(-(x+3))
+x=y(5x-12)=(x+3)
-x=y-(5x-12)=(x+3)

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||5x-12|=|x+3|
x=+y , +x=y(5x-12)=(x+3)
x=-y , -x=y(5x-12)=(-(x+3))

3. Solve the two equations for x

16 additional steps

(5x+-12)=(x+3)

Subtract from both sides:

(5x+-12)-x=(x+3)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(5x-x)+-12=(x+3)-x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x+-12=(x+3)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

4x+-12=(x-x)+3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x+-12=3

Add to both sides:

(4x+-12)+12=3+12

Gabungkan pecahan:

4x+(-1+1)2=3+12

Gabungkan pembilang:

4x+02=3+12

Permudahkan pembilang sifar:

4x+0=3+12

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x=3+12

Tukar nombor bulat kepada pecahan:

4x=62+12

Gabungkan pecahan:

4x=(6+1)2

Gabungkan pembilang:

4x=72

Divide both sides by :

(4x)4=(72)4

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=(72)4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=7(2·4)

x=78

17 additional steps

(5x+-12)=-(x+3)

Expand the parentheses:

(5x+-12)=-x-3

Add to both sides:

(5x+-12)+x=(-x-3)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(5x+x)+-12=(-x-3)+x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6x+-12=(-x-3)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

6x+-12=(-x+x)-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6x+-12=-3

Add to both sides:

(6x+-12)+12=-3+12

Gabungkan pecahan:

6x+(-1+1)2=-3+12

Gabungkan pembilang:

6x+02=-3+12

Permudahkan pembilang sifar:

6x+0=-3+12

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6x=-3+12

Tukar nombor bulat kepada pecahan:

6x=-62+12

Gabungkan pecahan:

6x=(-6+1)2

Gabungkan pembilang:

6x=-52

Divide both sides by :

(6x)6=(-52)6

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=(-52)6

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=-5(2·6)

x=-512

4. List the solutions

x=78,-512
(2 solution(s))

5. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|5x-12|
y=|x+3|
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.
