    This document provides an overview of solving absolute value equations and inequalities: 1. It defines absolute value as the distance of a number from 0 on the number line, which is always positive. 2. To solve an absolute value equation of the form |ax + b| = c, solve the equations ax + b = c and ax + b = -c. 3. To solve an absolute value inequality of the form |ax + b| < c, solve the inequality ax + b < c and ax + b > -c. For |ax + b| > c, solve the inequality ax + b > c or ax + b < -c. 4. Examples are provided

    Solving Absolute Value Equations


    and Inequalities

    1
    Absolute Value

     Distance of a number from 0 on a number


    line.
     Always positive

    x, if x is positive
    x 0, fi
    if x 0
    x, if x is negative

    Absolute Value Equation
    To solve the equation,
    ax b c
    Solve the following:
    ax b c or ax b c
    3

    Absolute Value Inequalities
    (Less than <, <)

    To solve the inequality


    ax b c
    solve the following
    c ax b c
    5
    2. 4 x 9 21

    Absolute Value Inequalities
    (Greater than >, >)

    To solve the inequality


    ax b c
    solve the following
    ax b c or ax b c
    7
    3. 3x 10 7

    3x 10 7 or 3x 10 7
    3x 17 or 3x 3
    3x 17 3x 3
    or
    3 3 3 3
    17
    x or x 1
    3

    8
    Remember

     NEVER change the signs of the expression


    inside the absolute value
     Absolute value < a number is compound
     Absolute value > a number is an “or”
    (remember great”or”)
