Isolate the Variable
To isolate a variable*, we must “unwrap a present”
*Isolate means to have only the variable on one side of the equal sign.
In general, we will undo the values closest to the variable on the same side first, then
work in until all that is left is the variable
The figure shown is made of a triangle and a square. The area of the
square is 36 square centimeters. A formula for the area 𝐴 of the figure is
𝐴 = 3ℎ + 36. Solve the formula for ℎ, the height of the triangle.
Try Some

diagonal has length 𝑙 yards. A formula for the total distance 𝐷, in yards,
of all the pathways is 𝐷 = 2𝑙 + 524. Solve this formula for 𝑙.

3.2 Solving Absolute Value Equations

Laura and some of her friends live on a street that runs east and west. Laura uses a number
line to show where her friends’ houses are in relation to her house. She plots a point at 0 to
represent her house. She plots points to represent the houses of her friends. Each unit on
the number line represents one block.
The absolute value of a number is the distance from 0 to
the number on a number line. Using absolute value notation,
Kia’s distance from 0 is | − 3| and Derrick’s distance is |3|. Since
Kia and Derrick are each 3 units from 0, | − 3| = 3 and |3| = 3.
1. Attend to precision. Write each person’s distance from 0 using absolute value notation.
Absolute value equations can represent distances on a number line.
2. The locations of two friends who are 2 units away from 0 are the solutions of the
absolute value equation |𝑥| = 2. Which two friends represent the solutions to the
equation |𝑥| = 2?
Page 9

3. You can create a graph on a number line to represent the solutions of an absolute
value equation. Graph the solutions of the equation |𝑥| = 5 on the number line below.
Then use the graph to help you explain why it makes sense that the equation |𝑥| = 5 has two solutions.
Absolute value equations can also represent distances between two points on a number
line.
4. Which two friends have houses that are 8 blocks from Tania’s house? Mark the location
of Tania’s house and the houses of these friends on the number line below.
The equation |𝑥| = 8 represents the numbers located 8 units away from 0. So the equation
|𝑥| = 8 can also be written as |𝑥 − 0| = 8, which shows the distance (8) away from the
point 0. In Item 4, you were looking for the numbers located 8 units away from 1. So you
can write the absolute value equation |𝑥 − 1| = 8 to represent that situation.
5. What are two possible values for 𝑥 − 1 given that |𝑥 − 1| = 8? Explain.
6. Use the two values you found in Item 5 to write two equations showing what 𝑥 − 1
could equal.
Page 10

7. Solve each of the two equations that you wrote in Item 6.
The solutions in Item 7 represent the two points on the number line that are 8 units from 1.
8. How do the solutions relate to your answer for Item 4?
9. Draw a number line to show the answer to each question. Then write an absolute value
equation to represent the points described.
a. Which two points are 5 units away from −2?
b. Which two points are 3 units away from 4?
Rewriting an absolute value equation as two equations allows you to solve the absolute
value equation using algebra.
10. Solve these absolute value equations.
a. |𝑥| = 10
b. |𝑥| = −3
c. |𝑥 + 2| = 7
Page 11

11. Make use of structure. How would you know by looking at an absolute value equation
that it has no solution?
Examples to Think On
12. Solve the equation |𝑥 − 3| = 7.
13. Solve the equation 6|𝑥 + 2| = 18.
Steps to Solving Equations with Absolute Values
1) Work through the problem undoing as normal, until only the absolute value and it’s
contents are on one side of the equal sign
2) To remove the absolute value, you must split the equation in to two equations: one
where the value is positive and one where it is negative
3) Solve the equations as normal

Raiders Middle School students participate in Physical Education
testing each semester. In order to pass, 12- and 13-year-old girls have
to do at least 7 push-ups and 4 modified pull-ups. They also have to
run one mile in 12 minutes or less. You can use an inequality to
express the passing marks in each test.
1. Why do you think the graphs of push-ups and pull-ups are dotted but the graph of the
mile run is a solid ray?
2. Reason quantitatively. Jamie ran one mile in 12 minutes 15 seconds, did 8 push-ups,
and did 4 modified pull-ups. Did she pass the test? Explain.

Inequality Real-World Problems 1. Make sense of problems. Chloe and Charlie are taking a trip to the pet store to buy
some things for their new puppy. They know that they need a bag of food that costs $7,
and they also want to buy some new toys for the puppy. They find a bargain barrel
containing toys that cost $2 each.
a. Write an expression for the amount of money they will spend if the number of toys
they buy is 𝑡.
b. Chloe has $30 and Charlie has one-third of this amount with him. Use this information
and the expression you wrote in Part (a) to write an inequality for finding the number
of toys they can buy.
There are different methods for solving the inequality you wrote in the previous question.
Chloe suggests that they guess and check to find the number of new toys that they could
buy.
2. Use Chloe’s suggestion to find the number of new puppy toys that Chloe and Charlie
can buy with their combined money.

Charlie remembered that they could use algebra to solve inequalities. He imagined that
the inequality symbol was an equal sign. Then he used equation-solving steps to solve the
inequality.

1b.
4. Did you get the same answer using Charlie’s method as you did using Chloe’s method?
Explain.

5. How would you graph the solution to Charlie and Chloe’s inequality?
6. Jaden solved an inequality as shown below. Describe and correct any errors in his work.
Page 22

Chloe liked the fact that Charlie’s method for solving inequalities did not involve guess and
check, so she asked him to show her the method for the inequality −2𝑥 − 4 > 8.
Charlie showed Chloe the work below to solve −2𝑥 − 4 > 8.
When Chloe went back to check the solution by substituting a value for x back into the
original inequality, she found that something was wrong.
7. Confirm or disprove Chloe’s conclusion by substituting values for x into the original
inequality.
Chloe tried the problem again but used a few different steps.
Chloe concluded that 𝑥 < −6.
8. Is Chloe’s conclusion correct? Explain.
9. Explain what Chloe did differently than Charlie to solve the inequality.
Page 23

Charlie looked back at his work. He said that he could easily fix his work by simply
switching the inequality sign.
10. Critique the reasoning of others. What do you think about Charlie’s plan? Explain.
Charlie and Chloe wanted to know why Chloe’s method and Charlie’s corrected process
were working. Here is an experiment to discover what went wrong with Charlie’s first
method. Look at what happens when you multiply or divide by a negative number.
11. Express regularity in repeated reasoning. What happens each time you multiply each
side of an inequality by a negative number? What happens each time you divide each
side of an inequality by a negative number?
