EOC Algebra Solving Linear and Absolute Value Equations

|-2 - 4n| = 34

• n = -9, n = 8

• n = 9, n = 8

• n = -9

• n = 8

8|-2x + 4| = 96

• x = -4, x = 8

• x = -4

• x = -4, x = -8

• x = 4, x = 8

What's a way to define absolute value?

• The value of a number

• The opposite of a number

• The distance of a number from zero

• The multiplicative inverse of a number

What is the reason that absolute value is always written as a positive?

• Absolute value is talking about numbers so it must be positive.

• Absolute value does not always have to be positive.

• Absolute value is like a clock it has only positive numbers.

• Absolute value is talking about distance, distance is always measured by positive numbers.
