Solve for x
l 5x l = 40

• x = 8 and x =-8
• x = 35 and x = -35
• Only x = 8
• No Solution

|x - 2|=10

• x = 12 or x = -8

• x = 10 or x = -10

• x = -12 or x = 8

• x = 8 or x = 12

Absolute value is defined as...

• always positive numbers
• negative numbers becoming positive
• distance from zero
• numbers on the number line

How many solution would be in the following situation |x| = 3

• none

• one

• two

• infinite many

Solve:

• {24}
• {-6, -8}
• {16, 4}
• {24, -24}
