Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a series of exercises involving solving absolute value equations and graphing the solution sets on a number line. Here's an overview of how to approach these types of problems:
For Absolute Value Equations:
- General Rule:
- If , this means or .
- Solve both equations to find the values of .
Example Breakdown of Solutions:
-
Problem 1:
-
- →
- →
- Graph: A number line showing two points: and .
-
-
Problem 2:
-
- →
- →
- Graph: Points at and .
-
Each problem follows a similar pattern where you isolate the absolute value, split it into two equations, and solve both.
Would you like me to provide a step-by-step solution for each equation or assist with specific questions? Also, here are 5 related questions for practice:
- How do you solve ?
- What is the general process for graphing solutions on a number line?
- How would the equation be solved?
- What happens if the right-hand side of an absolute value equation is negative, such as ?
- How can you write an absolute value equation given a number line with solution points?
Tip: Always check if the equation has a real solution. If the absolute value equals a negative number, there are no solutions.
