Absolute Value Equations: Absolute Value Equations Quiz

Absolute value can be described as the distance from zero. For example, -5 is 5 away from zero so l-5l = 5. In other words, the absolute value of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. For this reason, while solving for variables in absolute equations, it is important to remember both the positive and negative values which could solve the equation.
Example: 4|k + 3| = 56



Practice working with absolute values by solving for the variables below; assume the variable is real.
