z=0

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
|z+17|=|z17|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y||z+17|=|z17|
x=+y(z+17)=(z17)
x=y(z+17)=(z17)
+x=y(z+17)=(z17)
x=y(z+17)=(z17)

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||z+17|=|z17|
x=+y , +x=y(z+17)=(z17)
x=y , x=y(z+17)=(z17)

2. Solve the two equations for z

5 additional steps

(z+17)=(z-17)

Subtract from both sides:

(z+17)-z=(z-17)-z

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(z-z)+17=(z-17)-z

Permudahkan aritmetik:

17=(z-17)-z

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

17=(z-z)-17

Permudahkan aritmetik:

17=17

Pernyataan ini palsu:

17=17

The equation is false so it has no solution.

9 additional steps

(z+17)=-(z-17)

Expand the parentheses:

(z+17)=-z+17

Add to both sides:

(z+17)+z=(-z+17)+z

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

(z+z)+17=(-z+17)+z

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2z+17=(-z+17)+z

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

2z+17=(-z+z)+17

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2z+17=17

Subtract from both sides:

(2z+17)-17=17-17

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2z=1717

Permudahkan aritmetik:

2z=0

Divide both sides by the coefficient:

z=0

3. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=|z+17|
y=|z17|
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.
