Module 9

Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities

Solve for x: |x|=9. x=9 -> |x|=9 - Original Equation. |9|=9 - Let x equal 9. 9=9 - True. Check. |x|=9 - Original Equation. |-9|=9 - Let x equal -9. 9=9 - True.
Solve for x: |6x+3|=9. x=1 or x=-2 -> 6x+3=9 - Subtract 3 from both sides. 6x=6 - Divide 6 from both sides. x=1. 6x+3=-9 - Subtract 3 from both sides. 6x=-12 - divide 6 from both sides. x= -2. Plug in answers to check.
Solve for x: 8|x|+26=21. |x|=-5/8. 8|x|+26=21 - Subtract 26 from both sides. 8|x|=-5 - Divide 8 from both sides. |x| = -5/8. Plug in answer to check.
Solve for x: |(6x+5)/3|=-9. no solution. The absolute value of any expression is never a negative number.
How would you graph |x|<9? By creating a number line with a mark on 9 and -9.
Solve for x: |x|<5. x= {|x|-5<x<5)} or (5,-5). This is the answer because if you were to graph this, you would see that 5 and -5 are 5 units away from 0.
Solve for x: |x-8|<4. Then state which numbers would be plotted on a graph. x= 4<x<12, or (4,12). 4 and 12 would be plotted on a graph. Set |x-8|<4 equal to -4<m-8<4. Then add 8 to all sides. 4<x<12.
Solve for x: |3x+2|+4<15. x=-13/3<x<3 or (-13/3, 3). |3x+2|+4<15 - Subtract 4 from both sides. |3x+2|<11 - Set equal to -11<3x+2<11. Then subtract 2 from both sides. -13<3x<9 - Divide 3 from both sides. -13/3<x<3.
Solve for x: |x-6|>10. x<-4 and x>16. Set equal to x-6<-10 and x-6>10 - add 6 to both sides. x<-4 and x>16.
Can the absolute value of any expression be a negative number? No, it can only be zero or a positive number.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
