On the interstate for someone to get a ticket for speed, they must be less than 45 mph or greater than 75 mph. What absolute value inequality describes the speeds of those receiving a ticket?

• |x - 120| less than or = 30

• |x - 60| less than or = 15

• |x + 120| greater than or = 30

• |x - 60| greater than or = 15

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.

An extraneous solution is

• not a concern when solving absolute value equations

• an apparent solution that must be rejected because it does not satisfy the original equation

|2a - 10| = 6

• a = 8, a = 5

• a = 2

• a = 8

• a = 8, a = 2
