Equations with Decimals
Step 1: Combine any constants if easier
Step 2:
Step 3: Solve as Usual
1. 4.6 = 4m - 3.4 2. 0.01x - .1 = -x + 10
3. .25m + .1m = 9.8 4. .5(x -12) = 4
4. Class Notes/Practice Problems
Absolute Value Equations
Know The Rules:|x|= 1; x = 1, -1
Rule: Because the value inside could be positive or
negative, two equations must be written and solved.
Solve:|2x + 5| = 11, Then graph the solution set
The two equations are:
1. |2x + 5| = 11 2. |2x + 5| = - 11
2x = 6; x = 3 2x = -16; x = -8
