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
|x4|=|x+4|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||x4|=|x+4|
x=+y(x4)=(x+4)
x=y(x4)=(x+4)
+x=y(x4)=(x+4)
x=y(x4)=(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||x4|=|x+4|
x=+y , +x=y(x4)=(x+4)
x=y , x=y(x4)=(x+4)

2. Solve the two equations for x

11 additional steps

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

Add to both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x4=4

Add to both sides:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=4+4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2x=8

Divide both sides by :

(2x)2=82

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=82

5 additional steps

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

Expand the parentheses:

(x-4)=x-4

Subtract from both sides:

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

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

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

Permudahkan aritmetik:

-4=(x-4)-x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

-4=(x-x)-4

Permudahkan aritmetik:

4=4

3. List the solutions

x=4,4
(2 solution(s))

4. Graph

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