Warm Up • 8r + 4 = 10 + 2r • 28 – 0.3y = 0.7y – 12 • 8x + 6 – 9x = 2 – x – 15 • Jon and Sara are planting tulip bulbs. Jon has planted 60 bulbs and is planting at a rate of 44 bulbs per hour. Sarah has planted 96 bulbs and is planting at a rate of 32 bulbs per hour. In how many hours will Jon and Sara have planted the same number of bulbs? How many bulbs will that be?
In a game show, a contestant guesses the price of an item and wins a prize if his or her guess does not differ from the actual price by more than $5. The actual price is $48. What guesses will win a prize?
Would a contestant guessing $50 be any more correct that a contestant guessing $46?
What is absolute value? Absolute value represents a distance from 0. Because distance can be in the positive or negative direction from 0, there can be as many as two possible answers for an absolute-value equation.
The equation above asks, what values of x have an absolute value of 5?
The equation above asks, what values of x have an absolute value of a?
Absolute value can never be 0. Therefore, there is no solution to the equation or any absolute value equation that equals a negative number.
Most absolute value equations will have two solutions. Think about the equation: What can x + 4 equal? (It can equal 13 or -13)
Most absolute value equations will have two solutions. Therefore, we must set up two cases and solve each case to get two solutions.
Case 1 Case 2 X + 4 = 13 x + 4 = - 13
Steps to Solving Absolute Value Equations • Isolate the absolute value expression. (Using Inverse Operations) • Rewrite the equation as two cases. • Solve for the variable in both equations.
Solution Sets { } Solution sets are efficient when an equation has more than one solution. The solution set should be written with both solutions inside of the { }
Create your own absolute Value Equation on your paper and pass it to your neighbor to solve.
