DESCRIPTION

Solving Equations with Absolute Values To solve an equation of the form |A| = b Solve the disjunction A = b or A = -b Solve for “x”: |x + 3| = 7 x + 3 = 7 x + 3 = - 7 Do not write the absolute value brackets when you set up the two different equations.

9.3 Equations and Absolute Value

Goal(s): To solve equations involving absolute value

Page 2: 9.3 Equations and Absolute Value Goal(s): To solve equations involving absolute value

Solve: |x - 3| = 2

• What values can be substituted for “x” to make the equation true?

5 or x 1

Solving Equations with Absolute ValuesTo solve an equation of the form

|A| = bSolve the disjunctionA = b or A = -b

Solve for “x”: |x + 3| = 7

x + 3 = 7

x + 3 = -7

Do not write the absolute value brackets when you set up the two different

equations.
