ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS #3--KEY

Directions:  Absolute Value Equations typically have two solutions.  For example, with the equation, x could equal 9 or -9, because both numbers are 9 units away from zero on a number line.  For the absolute value equations below, you will have to solve two different equations to find both solutions.  

Examples:									
     x + 7 = 10        or      x + 7 = -10	                                            2x + 4 = 10          or          2x + 4 = -10
           x = 3          or             x = -17                                                       x = 3            or                   x = -7                                        				

1)	          	                              2)     		                               3)      	 

        x = _5,-23   _                                                 x = 30,-14   _                                                  x = _6,-12   _     	 

4)	          	                              5)     		                               6)      	 

        x = _4,-26   _                                                 x = _62,-22  _                                                 x = _18,-24  _     

7)	          	                              8)     		                               9)      	 

         x = 10,-32   _                                                x = _14,-10  _                                                 x = _22,-28   _
