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
3|x|=3|x+1|
without the absolute value bars:

|x|=|y|3|x|=3|x+1|
x=+y3(x)=3(x+1)
x=y3(x)=3((x+1))
+x=y3(x)=3(x+1)
x=y3((x))=3(x+1)

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|3|x|=3|x+1|
x=+y , +x=y3(x)=3(x+1)
x=y , x=y3(x)=3((x+1))

2. Solve the two equations for x

6 additional steps

3x=3·(x+1)

Expand the parentheses:

3x=3x+3·1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=3x+3

Subtract from both sides:

(3x)-3x=(3x+3)-3x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

0=(3x+3)-3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

0=(3x-3x)+3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

0=3

Pernyataan ini palsu:

0=3

The equation is false so it has no solution.

12 additional steps

3x=3·(-(x+1))

Expand the parentheses:

3x=3·(-x-1)

3x=3·-x+3·-1

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

3x=(3·-1)x+3·-1

Darabkan pekali:

3x=-3x+3·-1

Permudahkan aritmetik:

3x=3x3

Add to both sides:

(3x)+3x=(-3x-3)+3x

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6x=(-3x-3)+3x

Kumpulkan sebutan sejenis:

6x=(-3x+3x)-3

Permudahkan aritmetik:

6x=3

Divide both sides by :

(6x)6=-36

Permudahkan pecahan:

x=-36

3. Graph

Each line represents the function of one side of the equation:
y=3|x|
y=3|x+1|
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.
