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
|x1|=|2x|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x1|=|2x|
x=+y(x1)=(2x)
x=y(x1)=(2x)
+x=y(x1)=(2x)
x=y(x1)=(2x)

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||x1|=|2x|
x=+y , +x=y(x1)=(2x)
x=y , x=y(x1)=(2x)

2. Solve the two equations for x

9 additional steps

(x-1)=2x

Subtract from both sides:

(x-1)-2x=(2x)-2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(x-2x)-1=(2x)-2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

-x-1=(2x)-2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x1=0

Add to both sides:

(-x-1)+1=0+1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=0+1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=1

Multiply both sides by :

-x·-1=1·-1

Buang nilai satu:

x=1·-1

Buang nilai satu:

x=1

7 additional steps

(x-1)=-2x

Add to both sides:

(x-1)+1=(-2x)+1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

x=(-2x)+1

Add to both sides:

x+2x=((-2x)+1)+2x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=((-2x)+1)+2x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

3x=(-2x+2x)+1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=1

Divide both sides by :

(3x)3=13

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=13

3. List the solutions

x=-1,13
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|x1|
y=|2x|
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.
