How many cases do we get when we remove the absolute value?
C
Practice makes perfect
An absolute value measures an expression's distance from a midpoint on a number line.
|4x-11|= 13This equation means that the distance is 13, either in the positive direction or the negative direction.
|4x-11|= 13 ⇒ l4x-11= 13 4x-11= - 13
To find the solutions to the absolute value equation, we need to solve both of these cases for x.
