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
|5x8|=|3x+2|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||5x8|=|3x+2|
x=+y(5x8)=(3x+2)
x=y(5x8)=(3x+2)
+x=y(5x8)=(3x+2)
x=y(5x8)=(3x+2)

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||5x8|=|3x+2|
x=+y , +x=y(5x8)=(3x+2)
x=y , x=y(5x8)=(3x+2)

2. Solve the two equations for x

11 additional steps

(5x-8)=(3x+2)

Subtract from both sides:

(5x-8)-3x=(3x+2)-3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(5x-3x)-8=(3x+2)-3x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x-8=(3x+2)-3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

2x-8=(3x-3x)+2

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x8=2

Add to both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=2+8

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=10

Divide both sides by :

(2x)2=102

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=102

12 additional steps

(5x-8)=-(3x+2)

Expand the parentheses:

(5x-8)=-3x-2

Add to both sides:

(5x-8)+3x=(-3x-2)+3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(5x+3x)-8=(-3x-2)+3x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8x-8=(-3x-2)+3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

8x-8=(-3x+3x)-2

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8x8=2

Add to both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8x=2+8

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8x=6

Divide both sides by :

(8x)8=68

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=68

3. List the solutions

x=5,34
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|5x8|
y=|3x+2|
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.
