Solving Absolute Value Equations

The video tutorial covers the concept of absolute value, explaining it through a number line. It demonstrates solving absolute value equations by considering both positive and negative scenarios. The tutorial also covers distributing negative signs in equations and verifies solutions by plugging them back into the original equation.

What is the absolute value of -3?

• 6

• 3

• -3

• 0

When solving an absolute value equation, why do we consider both positive and negative scenarios?

• To eliminate negative numbers

• To find the average value

• To simplify the equation

• To account for all possible solutions

What is the first step in solving the equation X + 10 = 4X - 8?

• Divide both sides by 4

• Add 8 to both sides

• Subtract X from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3

What is the value of X when solving the equation X + 10 = -4X + 8?

• X = 6

• X = 5

• X = -2/5

• X = 0

Which of the following values satisfies the absolute value function discussed?

• X = 0

• X = 2

• X = 6

• X = -3
