Problem 2: Break into two cases: Solving these:
- → →
- → →
So, the solution is or .
-
Problem 3: Again, break into two cases: Solving these:
- → →
- → →
Thus, the solution is or .
-
Problem 4: Since the absolute value of any expression is always non-negative, it cannot equal a negative number. Therefore, this equation has no solution.
