On a separate sheet of paper, solve the absolute value equation that appears in the applet below. [br]Once you obtain both solutions, enter them in the input boxes. [br]If you get any one (or more) of these solutions correct, you'll see a big [color=#ff00ff][b][i]"Correct !!! "[/i][/b][/color] sign appear. [br][color=#0000ff][br]Repeat this exercise as many times as you need in order to master this concept! [/color]
Stuck? Here's an example problem:[br][br]|3x|=30[br][br]This is telling us that the product of 3 and x are 30 units away from 0, that is that 3x is either 30 or -30.[br][br]So, 3x=30 or 3x=-30[br][br]Which means x = 10 or -10
Solve [math]|2x|+1=5[/math]
