How Do You Solve Absolute Value Inequalities?
Don’t let absolute value symbols in an inequality have you throwing your hands up in the air in frustration. This article will guide you through how to solve absolute value inequalities without ripping your hair out. Look at the absolute value inequality that you are given, and make note of the processes that are in the equation.Is there subtraction or addition? Are you going to have to multiply or divide? Are there any exponents? Knowing what processes are in the absolute value inequality will let you know what processes you will need to do and it will also let you begin to decide what processes will need to be done before others. Remember that when you are solving any equation for a variable you will need to do the reverse order of operations to both sides of the equation in order to get your solution. This means that you will begin with addition/subtraction, then move to multiplication/division, followed by exponents, and then finish up with any parentheses. An easy way to remember
