x=2 , -1

Other Ways to Solve

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

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

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

2. Solve the two equations for x

12 additional steps

(x+4)=3x

Subtract from both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x+4=0

Subtract from both sides:

(-2x+4)-4=0-4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=04

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=4

Divide both sides by :

(-2x)-2=-4-2

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

2x2=-4-2

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-4-2

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

x=42

8 additional steps

(x+4)=-3x

Subtract from both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=(-3x)-4

Add to both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x=4

Divide both sides by :

(4x)4=-44

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-44

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=1

3. List the solutions

x=2,1
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|x+4|
y=|3x|
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.
