Which description below describes the solution of the absolute value equation? well, to do this, let's just solve it.
00:08
So i'm going to divide by negative 4, which means me x minus 2 in the absolute value equals to 3.
00:15
Well, we need to break this up into two parts.
00:18
We need to look at the distance 3 units to the left of 0, which is negative 3, and 3 units to the right of 0, which is positive 3.
00:26
So we're looking at x minus 2 equaling negative 3, and x minus 2, equaling negative 3, 3.
00:32
To solve this, we would add 2 to both sides here and get x equals negative 1.
00:38
Here we would add 2, and we would get x equals to 5.
00:42
So we see we have two solutions...
