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+6|=|3x4|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x+6|=|3x4|
x=+y(x+6)=(3x4)
x=y(x+6)=(3x4)
+x=y(x+6)=(3x4)
x=y(x+6)=(3x4)

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+6|=|3x4|
x=+y , +x=y(x+6)=(3x4)
x=y , x=y(x+6)=(3x4)

2. Solve the two equations for x

13 additional steps

(x+6)=(3x-4)

Subtract from both sides:

(x+6)-3x=(3x-4)-3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(x-3x)+6=(3x-4)-3x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

-2x+6=(3x-4)-3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

-2x+6=(3x-3x)-4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x+6=4

Subtract from both sides:

(-2x+6)-6=-4-6

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=46

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=10

Divide both sides by :

(-2x)-2=-10-2

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

2x2=-10-2

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-10-2

Hapuskan tanda negatif:

x=102

12 additional steps

(x+6)=-(3x-4)

Expand the parentheses:

(x+6)=-3x+4

Add to both sides:

(x+6)+3x=(-3x+4)+3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(x+3x)+6=(-3x+4)+3x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x+6=(-3x+4)+3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

4x+6=(-3x+3x)+4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x+6=4

Subtract from both sides:

(4x+6)-6=4-6

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x=46

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4x=2

Divide both sides by :

(4x)4=-24

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-24

Cari faktor sepunya terbesar bagi pembilang dan penyebut:

x=(-1·2)(2·2)

Faktorkan keluar dan hapuskan faktor sepunya terbesar:

x=-12

3. List the solutions

x=5,-12
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|x+6|
y=|3x4|
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.
