Absolute Value Equations Worksheet

                    Lesson 1

Problem:                   Solve:  5 = |x + 2|

Step 1: We will solve the problem in different Step s.

Solution

Step 2:                        

Case 1:	Check	Case 2:	Check
5 = |x + 2| x + 2 = 5 x = 5 – 2 x = 3	5 = | 3 + 2| 5 = |5| 5 = 5	5 = |x + 2| x + 2 = -5 x = -5 - 2 x = -7	5 = |-7 + 2| 5 = |-5| 5 = 5

                                                             Solution                    The answer is:  {3,- 7}

 Step 3:                                                                      

                                                            Try two practice problems:  

Solve the following:

                                                                                                A. 3 = |x – 2|

                                                                                                B. 8 = |x – 4|
