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
|x9|=|x4|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x9|=|x4|
x=+y(x9)=(x4)
x=y(x9)=(x4)
+x=y(x9)=(x4)
x=y(x9)=(x4)

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||x9|=|x4|
x=+y , +x=y(x9)=(x4)
x=y , x=y(x9)=(x4)

2. Solve the two equations for x

5 additional steps

(x-9)=(x-4)

Subtract from both sides:

(x-9)-x=(x-4)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(x-x)-9=(x-4)-x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

-9=(x-4)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

-9=(x-x)-4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

9=4

Pernyataan ini palsu:

9=4

The equation is false so it has no solution.

10 additional steps

(x-9)=-(x-4)

Expand the parentheses:

(x-9)=-x+4

Add to both sides:

(x-9)+x=(-x+4)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(x+x)-9=(-x+4)+x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x-9=(-x+4)+x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

2x-9=(-x+x)+4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x9=4

Add to both sides:

(2x-9)+9=4+9

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=4+9

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=13

Divide both sides by :

(2x)2=132

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=132

3. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|x9|
y=|x4|
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.
