Use the distance definition of absolute value.
Objective 1
Slide 9.2- 2
![Page 3: 9.2 Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56816266550346895dd2d145/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The absolute value of a number x, written |x|, is the distance from x to 0 on the number line.
For example, the solutions of |x| = 5 are 5 and 5, as shown below. We need to understand the concept of absolute value in order to solve equations or inequalities involving absolute values. We solve them by solving the appropriate compound equation or inequality.
Distance is 5, so |5| = 5.
Distance is 5, so |5| = 5.
Slide 9.2- 3

When solving absolute value equations and inequalities of the types in Examples 1, 2, and 3, remember the following:
1. The methods describe apply when the constant is alone on one side of the equation or inequality and is positive.
2. Absolute value equations and absolute value inequalities of the form |ax + b| > k translate into “or” compound statements.
3. Absolute value inequalities of the form |ax + b| < k translate into “and” compound statements, which may be written as three-part inequalities.
4. An “or” statement cannot be written in three parts.

Solve |3x + 2| + 4 = 15.
First get the absolute value alone on one side of the equals sign.|3x + 2| + 4 = 15
|3x + 2| + 4 – 4 = 15 – 4 |3x + 2| = 11
3x + 2 = 11 or 3x + 2 = 11 3x = 13 3x = 9 x = 3

Solve each inequality.|x | > – 1
The absolute value of a number is always greater than or equal to 0. The solution set is (, ).
|x – 10| – 2 ≤ –3
|x – 10| ≤ –1 Add 2 to each side.
There is no number whose absolute value is less than –1, so the inequality has no solution. The solution set is .
|x + 2| ≤ 0
The value of |x + 2| will never be less than 0. |x + 2| will equal 0 when x = –2. The solution set is {–2}.
