Alg I: Abs Value Eq |ax| = c
On a separate sheet of paper, solve the absolute value equation that appears in the applet below.
Once you obtain both solutions, enter them in the input boxes.
If you get any one (or more) of these solutions correct, you'll see a big "Correct !!! " sign appear.
Repeat this exercise as many times as you need in order to master this concept!
Stuck? Here's an example problem:
|3x|=30
This is telling us that the product of 3 and x are 30 units away from 0, that is that 3x is either 30 or -30.
So, 3x=30 or 3x=-30
Which means x = 10 or -10
