Other Ways to Solve

Absolute value equations

Penjelasan langkah demi langkah

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

|x+1|+4|x+3|=0

Add 4|x+3| to both sides of the equation:

|x+1|+4|x+3|4|x+3|=4|x+3|

Permudahkan aritmetik

|x+1|=4|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
|x+1|=4|x+3|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x+1|=4|x+3|
x=+y(x+1)=4(x+3)
x=y(x+1)=4((x+3))
+x=y(x+1)=4(x+3)
x=y(x+1)=4(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||x+1|=4|x+3|
x=+y , +x=y(x+1)=4(x+3)
x=y , x=y(x+1)=4((x+3))

3. Solve the two equations for x

11 additional steps

(x+1)=-4·(x+3)

Expand the parentheses:

(x+1)=-4x-4·3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

(x+1)=-4x-12

Add to both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x+1=(-4x-12)+4x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

5x+1=(-4x+4x)-12

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x+1=12

Subtract from both sides:

(5x+1)-1=-12-1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x=121

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5x=13

Divide both sides by :

(5x)5=-135

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-135

16 additional steps

(x+1)=-4·(-(x+3))

Expand the parentheses:

(x+1)=-4·(-x-3)

(x+1)=-4·-x-4·-3

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(x+1)=(-4·-1)x-4·-3

Darabkan pekali:

(x+1)=4x-4·-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

(x+1)=4x+12

Subtract from both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x+1=12

Subtract from both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=121

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=11

Divide both sides by :

(-3x)-3=11-3

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

3x3=11-3

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=11-3

Pindahkan tanda negatif dari penyebut ke pembilang:

x=-113

4. List the solutions

x=-135,-113
(2 solution(s))

5. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|x+1|
y=4|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.
