Algebra 1 6.5 Solving Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities

Steps to Solve an Absolute Value Equation • Isolate the absolute value expression • Drop the absolute value and create a positive and a negative equation • Solve each

Solving an Absolute Value Equation • Solve lx – 4l = 8 x – 4 = 8 or x – 4 = -8 +4 +4 +4 +4 x = 12 or x = -4 Mentally check your answers.

Solving an Absolute Value Equation • Solve l5x + 1l + 3 = 14 Isolate the absolute value expression. l5x + 1l = 11 5x + 1 = 11 or 5x + 1 = -11 -1 -1 -1 -1 5x = 10 or 5x = -12 x = 2 or x = - 2 and 2/5 Mentally check your answers. -3 -3 5 5

1) lxl ≤ 2 (The distance from 0 is less than or equal to 2) 2) lxl > 3 (The distance from 0 is greater than 3) 3) lx + 2l ≥ 1 4) lx – 3l ≤ 2 Investigating Absolute-Value InequalitiesSee if each number is a solution as it appears. If it is, fill it in. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 x ≤ 2 and x ≥ -2 or . . . . . . . . . . . . . -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 x > 3 or x < -3 WHY? and Absolute Value < or ≤ is an and inequality Absolute Value > or ≥ is an or inequality

Steps to Solve an Absolute Value Inequality • Isolate the Absolute Value Expression • Drop the absolute value and create a positive inequality and a negative inequality (flip the sign) • Solve each inequality separately • <, ≤ is an and inequality >, ≥ is an or inequality 5) Graph
