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+3|=|x6|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x+3|=|x6|
x=+y(x+3)=(x6)
x=y(x+3)=(x6)
+x=y(x+3)=(x6)
x=y(x+3)=(x6)

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+3|=|x6|
x=+y , +x=y(x+3)=(x6)
x=y , x=y(x+3)=(x6)

2. Solve the two equations for x

5 additional steps

(x+3)=(x-6)

Subtract from both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3=(x-6)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

3=(x-x)-6

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3=6

Pernyataan ini palsu:

3=6

The equation is false so it has no solution.

10 additional steps

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

Expand the parentheses:

(x+3)=-x+6

Add to both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x+3=6

Subtract from both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=63

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=3

Divide both sides by :

(2x)2=32

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=32

3. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|x+3|
y=|x6|
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.
