Absolute value equations describe the distance of a number from zero on a number line. Solving |x - a| = b requires considering both positive and negative cases, as distance is always non-negative.

ସୂତ୍ର

|x - a| = b → x - a = b or x - a = -b

  1. 1Set up two equations: positive and negative cases
  2. 2Solve each equation separately
  3. 3Verify both solutions in the original equation

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
|x - 3| = 5
ଫଳ
x = 8 or x = -2
Both values are 5 units away from 3

  • Forgetting the negative case
  • Not checking solutions in the original equation
