    Uploaded by

    E. Ryan Plank
    The equation a = -7 has no solution because an absolute value cannot equal a negative number. Write the absolute value as two equations. Add 7 to each side. Simplify. The solutions are 15 and -1. Exercises Solve each equation. If there is no solution, write no solution.

    Absolute Value Equations

    Both 5 and 5 are solutions of the equation | a | = 5. Many absolute value equations have two solutions. The equation | a | = 7 has no solution because an absolute value cannot equal a negative number. Problem What are the solutions of | t 7 | = 8? The equation | t 7 | = 8 is the same as t 7 = 8 or t 7 = 8. t7=8 t7+7=8+7 t = 15 or or or t 7 = 8 t 7 + 7 = 8 + 7 t = 1
    Write the absolute value as two equations. Add 7 to each side. Simplify.

    The solutions are 15 and 1. Problem What are the solutions of | 5p | + 25 = 15? First isolate the absolute value. | 5p | + 25 = 15 | 5p | + 25 25 = 15 25 | 5p | = 10
    Original equation Subtract 25 from each side. Simplify.

    The absolute value cannot have a negative value, so there is no solution for the equation.

    Exercises
    Solve each equation. If there is no solution, write no solution.

    Absolute Value Inequalities

    The inequality | a | < 5 is the same as a < 5 and a > 5. The inequality | a | > 5 is the same as a > 5 or a < 5.

    Problem
    What are the solutions of | 2n 3 | 9? Graph the solutions. 2n 3 9 2n 3 + 3 9 + 3 2n 12
