Solving Absolute Value Inequalities with DeltaMath

The video tutorial covers solving absolute value inequalities. It begins by explaining how to handle inequalities by treating them as equalities and solving for positive and negative cases. The tutorial uses a number line to illustrate solutions and discusses the concept of open and closed dots for graphing inequalities. A second example is provided, demonstrating the process of solving and graphing absolute value inequalities with less than or equal to conditions. The video emphasizes checking solutions in different regions and understanding the direction of inequalities.

What is the first step in solving an absolute value inequality?

• Ignore the inequality sign

• Multiply both sides by -1

• Graph the inequality

• Add 3 to both sides

When solving the equation X - 3 = 9, what are the two possible values of X?

• X = 9 and X = -9

• X = 12 and X = 6

• X = 12 and X = -6

• X = 6 and X = -6

If X - 3 > 9, which region on the number line will be false?

• Between -6 and 12

• To the right of 12

• To the left of -6

• None of the above
