If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device (should be able to scroll to see them) and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.

Section 2-14 : Absolute Value Equations

For problems 1 – 5 solve each of the equation.

1. \(\left| {4p - 7} \right| = 3\) Solution
2. \(\left| {2 - 4x} \right| = 1\) Solution
3. \(6u = \left| {1 + 3u} \right|\) Solution
4. \(\left| {2x - 3} \right| = 4 - x\) Solution
5. \( \displaystyle \left| {\frac{1}{2}z + 4} \right| = \left| {4z - 6} \right|\) Solution

For problems 6 & 7 find all the real valued solutions to the equation.

1. \(\left| {{x^2} + 2x} \right| = 15\) Solution
2. \(\left| {{x^2} + 4} \right| = 1\) Solution
