Penjelasan langkah demi langkah

1. Rewrite the equation without absolute value bars

Use the rules:
$| x | = | y |$ → $x = \pm y$ and $| x | = | y |$ → $\pm x = y$
to write all four options of the equation
$| x - 12 | = | - x + 4 |$
without the absolute value bars:

$\| x \| = \| y \|$	$\| x - 12 \| = \| - x + 4 \|$
$x = + y$	$(x - 12) = (- x + 4)$
$x = - y$	$(x - 12) = - (- x + 4)$
$+ x = y$	$(x - 12) = (- x + 4)$
$- x = y$	$- (x - 12) = (- x + 4)$

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:

$\| x \| = \| y \|$	$\| x - 12 \| = \| - x + 4 \|$
$x = + y$ , $+ x = y$	$(x - 12) = (- x + 4)$
$x = - y$ , $- x = y$	$(x - 12) = - (- x + 4)$

2. Solve the two equations for x

11 additional steps

$(x - 12) = (- x + 4)$

Add to both sides:

$(x - 12) + x = (- x + 4) + x$

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

$(x + x) - 12 = (- x + 4) + x$

Permudahkan aritmetik:

$2 x - 12 = (- x + 4) + x$

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

$2 x - 12 = (- x + x) + 4$

Permudahkan aritmetik:

$2 x - 12 = 4$

Add to both sides:

$(2 x - 12) + 12 = 4 + 12$

Permudahkan aritmetik:

$2 x = 4 + 12$

Permudahkan aritmetik:

$2 x = 16$

Divide both sides by :

$\frac{(2 x)}{2} = \frac{16}{2}$

Permudahkan pecahan:

$x = \frac{16}{2}$

$x = 8$

6 additional steps

$(x - 12) = - (- x + 4)$

Expand the parentheses:

$(x - 12) = x - 4$

Subtract from both sides:

$(x - 12) - x = (x - 4) - x$

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

$(x - x) - 12 = (x - 4) - x$

Permudahkan aritmetik:

$- 12 = (x - 4) - x$

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

$- 12 = (x - x) - 4$

Permudahkan aritmetik:

$- 12 = - 4$

Pernyataan ini palsu:

$- 12 = - 4$

The equation is false so it has no solution.

3. List the solutions

$x = 8$
(1 solution(s))

4. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
$y = | x - 12 |$
$y = | - x + 4 |$
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.
