x=5 , -5

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+5|=|x+5|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x+5|=|x+5|
x=+y(x+5)=(x+5)
x=y(x+5)=(x+5)
+x=y(x+5)=(x+5)
x=y(x+5)=(x+5)

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+5|=|x+5|
x=+y , +x=y(x+5)=(x+5)
x=y , x=y(x+5)=(x+5)

2. Solve the two equations for x

4 additional steps

(x+5)=(x+5)

Subtract from both sides:

(x+5)-x=(x+5)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(x-x)+5=(x+5)-x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5=(x+5)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

5=(x-x)+5

Permudahkan aritmetik:

5=5

12 additional steps

(x+5)=-(x+5)

Expand the parentheses:

(x+5)=-x-5

Add to both sides:

(x+5)+x=(-x-5)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(x+x)+5=(-x-5)+x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x+5=5

Subtract from both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=55

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=10

Divide both sides by :

(2x)2=-102

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-102

3. List the solutions

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

4. Graph

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