    1. Absolute value equations and inequalities involve expressions with absolute value signs. To solve absolute value equations, we isolate the absolute value expression and consider whether the number on the other side is positive or negative. If positive, we set the expression equal to that number and its opposite. 2. There are specific steps to solve absolute value equations: isolate the absolute value expression, check if the other side is negative (no solution if so), then set the expression equal to the number and its opposite and solve. 3. For inequalities, if the absolute value is less than a positive number k, the expression is between -k and k, and if the absolute value is greater than k, the expression is less

    ABSOLUTE VALUE

    EQUATIONS AND
    INEQUALITIES
    ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    Previously, we learned that the absolute value of a


    number x (denoted by |x|) is the distance of the number
    from zero on the number line.
     The absolute value of zero is zero.
     The absolute value of a positive number is itself.
     The absolute value of a negative number is its opposite or
    positive counterpart.
    ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    Examples are:
    1. |0| = 0
    2. |4| = 4
    3. |–12| = 12
    4. |7 – 2| = 5
    5. |2 – 7| = 5
    ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    How about the absolute value of the following?


    1) |a| = 11
    2) |m| = 28
    3) |r| =
    4) |y| + 1 = 3
    5) |p| - 1 = 7
    TRY THIS:

    1) |m| = 10
    2) |x| + 2 = 6
    3) |r| - 4 = 7
    STEPS IN SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

     Step 1: Let the expression on one side of the equation consist only
    of a single absolute value expression.
     Step 2: Is the number on the other side of the equation negative? If
    it is, then the equation has no solution. If it is not, then proceed to
    step 3.
     Step 3: If the absolute value of an expression is equal to a positive
    number, say a, then the expression inside the absolute value can
    either be a or –a Equate the expression inside the absolute value sign
    to a and to –a, and solve both equations.
    SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    EXAMPLE 1:
    Solve |3a – 4| – 11 = 15
    SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    EXAMPLE 2:
    Solve |5x + 4| + 12 = 4.
    TRY THIS:

    1) |2x + 1| = 7
    2) |5x + 1| - 2 = 9
    SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    EXAMPLE 3:
    Solve |c – 7| = |2c – 2|.
    TRY THIS:

    1.|2n – 9| = |n + 6 |
    SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    EXAMPLE 4:
    Solve |b + 2| = |b – 3|
    SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    EXAMPLE 5:
    Solve |x – 4| = |4 – x|.
    SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

    Solve the following absolute value equations:


    1. |m| – 3 = 37
    2. |2v| – 4 = 28
    3. |5z + 1| = 21
    4. |4x + 2| – 3 = –7
    5. |2n – 6| = |n + 3 |
    ABSOLUTE VALUE INEQUALITIES

    Property I: Absolute Value Inequalities


    If x represents an algebraic expression and k is a positive real
    number, then |x| < k implies -k < X < k
    ABSOLUTE VALUE INEQUALITIES

    Property II: Absolute Value Inequalities


    If x represents an algebraic expression and k is a positive real
    number,
    then |x| > k implies x < -k < or x > k

    INEQUALITIES
    Example 1:
    Solve |x – 4| < 18.
