Question

. Describe the type of solutions you can get when you solve an absolute value equation. Give an example of each type

Answer 1

You can get a positive or negative solution.

For instance |x + 6| = 3
x + 6 = -3
x = -9

Or
x + 6 = 3
x = -3

Here we have two negatives for our solution.

Answer 2

Thank you :)

Answer 3

yw

Answer 4

Here is one with a positive and negative solution
|2x - 1| = 7
2x - 1 = 7
2x = 7+1
2x = 8
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4

OR

|2x - 1| = -7
2x - 1 = -7
2x = -7+1
2x = -6
2x/2 = -6/2
x = -3

Here we have a positive 4 and a negative 3 .... {4, -3}
