1. Walleye Group Title

The ol absolute value probem. do you know how to get rid of the absolute value?

2. kayser Group Title

im not very sure, im trying out the problem i just need the final solution to compare it with my result

3. kayser Group Title

i have a bunch of these that's why lol

4. Walleye Group Title

Remember that the absolute value is the distance so you will have your LHS = 7 or -7

5. Walleye Group Title

sorry 7 and -7

6. Walleye Group Title

imagine if the value inside was equal to 7 then abs(7) = 7 now imagine if the value inside was equal to -7 then abs(-7) = 7

8. kayser Group Title

haha i know man

9. kayser Group Title

thank you very much

10. kayser Group Title

wait so the final solution would be (-3.3) ???

11. Walleye Group Title

do you mean 3 and -3?

12. kayser Group Title

yes the final coordinates

13. Walleye Group Title

there are no coordinates. just two solutions for x

14. Walleye Group Title

let me do the problem and check the answer

15. kayser Group Title

oh yea sorry

16. Walleye Group Title

you got it!!! Now just make sure you understand why it is equal to 7 and -7!!! Soon you will see inequalities and you must understand absolute values to succed

17. kayser Group Title
