How many cases do you have after you remove the absolute value?
A
Practice makes perfect
An absolute value measures an expression's distance from a midpoint on a number line.
|x+3|= 7This equation means that the distance is 7, either in the positive direction or the negative direction.
|x+3|= 7 ⇒ lx+3= 7 x+3= - 7
To find the solutions to the absolute value equation, we need to solve both of these cases for x.
