Absolute Value

Solve for x
l 4x−3 l = 17

• x = 5 and x =-3.5
• x = 0 and x = -5
• x = 10 and x = -10
• No Solution

Solve for x
3 l 4w−1 l −5 = 10

• x = 1.5 and x =-1
• x = -1.5 and x = 1
• x =1 and x = -1
• No Solution

−2|−2r − 4| = -12

• x = 5 and x = 1

• x = -5 and x = -1

• x = -5 and x = 1

• No Solution

True or False: Is x = 4 a solution to |x + 5| = -9

• True
• False

−2|−2r − 4| = -12

• {5,1}
• {-5,-1}
• {-5,1}
• No Solution

Solve |2x –3| + 5 =10.

• -1, 1
• -1, 4
• -1, -4
• 1, 4

What is the reason that absolute value is always written as a positive?

• Absolute value is talking about numbers so it must be positive.
• Absolute value does not always have to be positive.
• Absolute value is like a clock it has only positive numbers.
• Absolute value is talking about distance, distance is always measured by positive numbers.

∣ 2x + 9 ∣ = 15

• x = 3 
• x = 3
  x = -6
• x = 3
  x = -12
• x = 6
  x = -12

• -2, I8I, 5, I-10I, 6
• -10, -2, 5, 6, 8
• -2, 5, 6, 8, 10
• I-10I, -2, 5, 6. I8I
