Question | Answer |
| x |= a | If a is a positive number, | x |= a is equivalent to x = a, or x = -a. This can still be applied if the equation in the absolute value brackets is more complicated, such as | x + 10|= 5. |
| x |= 5 | Solve | x |= 5. | x |= 5 is equivalent to x = 5 and x = -5. Substitute each into the original equation. | x |= 5 | x |= 5 | 5 |= 5 | -5 |= 5 5 = 5; True 5 = 5; True Solution set: {5, -5} |
4| x | + 50 = 46 | 4| x |+ 50 = 46 4| x |= -4 (Subtract 50) | x |= -1 (Divide by 4) Since the answer is negative, there is no solution. |
| 3x-5 |= | 1-3x | | 3x-5 = 1-3x 3x-5 = -(1-3x) 6x-5 = 1 3x = 4-3x 6x = 6 0 = 4 x = 1 Solution set is {1} since 0=4 is a false statement. |
| 6+3a |-20 = -2 | | 6+3a |-20 = -2 6+3a = 18 6+3a = -18 3a = 12 3a = 24 a = 4 a = -8 Solution set is {-8, 4} |
| x | < a | If a is positive, | x | < a is equivalent to -a < | x | < a. This also applies to the sign ≤ |
| x | ≤ 4 | Refers to all numbers whose distance from 0 is less than or equal to 4. Solution set is [-4, 4] |
| x-5 | < 7 | | x-5 | < 7 x-5 < 7 x-5 > 7 x < 12 x > -2 Solution set is (-2, 12) |
| 6x+3 |+3 < 24 | | 6x+3 |+3 < 24 -21 < 6x + 3 < 21 (Subtract 3 from both sides and use the formula -a < | x | < a to set this inequality up.) -24 < 6x < 18 (Subtract 3 to get x alone.) -4 < x <3 (Divide by 6.) Solution is (-4, 3) |
15 + | x | ≤ 8 | 15 + | x | ≤ 8 x ≤ -7 The inequality states that the answer should be less than or equal to 7 (less than 0, which cannot be the answer of an absolute value). |
