Mental Math Solving • Think What values could x be that would make the equation true? HINT: There are two! • ANSWER: 5 or -5
Mental Math Solving (More Example) • x = 7 or -7 • x = 9 or -9 • x = 18 or -18
Solving an Absolute-Value Equation • This means that can equal 5 or -5. x – 2 IS NEGATIVE x – 2 IS POSITIVE SOLUTION: x = 7 or x = -3
Solving an Absolute-Value Equation 2x – 7 IS POSITIVE 2x – 7 IS NEGATIVE
POSITIVE NEGATIVE
IMPORTANT CHEAT SHEET Solving Absolute-Value Equations and Inequalities ax+b<c means ax+b<c AND ax+b>-c ax+b≤c means ax+b≤cAND ax+b≥-c ax+b=c means ax+b=c OR ax+b=-c ax+b>c means ax+b>c ORax+b<-c ax+b≥c means ax+b≥c ORax+b≤-c
Solving Absolute-Value Inequalities • Remember that is the distance between and 0. • If , then any number between -8 and 8 is solution to the inequality.
x – 4 IS NEGATIVE x – 4 IS POSITIVE
2x + 1 IS NEGATIVE 2x + 1 IS POSITIVE
POSITIVE NEGATIVE
