Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities

Solve for x
∣ 2x + 9 ∣ = 15

• x = 3 

• x = 3   x = -6

• x = 3   x = -12

• x = 6   x = -12

Solve for x
| 2x – 3 | + 5 =10.

• { -1, 1 }

• { -1, 4 }

• { -1, -4 }

• { 1, 4 }

Solve for x
l 2x−1 l +4 = 8 

• x = 2.5 and x = -1.5

• x = 2 and x = -1

• x = -2 and x = 9

• No Solution

Solve for x
∣ -2x + 9 ∣ > 15

• x<-3 or x>12

• -3 < x < 12

• x<-3 and x>12

• -3 < x > 12
