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
|x+8|=|x|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x+8|=|x|
x=+y(x+8)=(x)
x=y(x+8)=(x)
+x=y(x+8)=(x)
x=y(x+8)=(x)

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||x+8|=|x|
x=+y , +x=y(x+8)=(x)
x=y , x=y(x+8)=(x)

2. Solve the two equations for x

12 additional steps

(-x+8)=x

Subtract from both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x+8=xx

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x+8=0

Subtract from both sides:

(-2x+8)-8=0-8

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=08

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=8

Divide both sides by :

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

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

2x2=-8-2

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-8-2

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

x=82

x=4

4 additional steps

(-x+8)=-x

Add to both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8=x+x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

8=0

Pernyataan ini palsu:

8=0

The equation is false so it has no solution.

3. List the solutions

x=4
(1 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|x+8|
y=|x|
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.
