Absolute Value Inequalities

Learn how to solve equations involving absolute value inequalities. First, remind yourself what absolute value means. Then learn how to think about absolute value when variables are involved. Finally, learn how to apply the rules of solving inequalities (remember when you multiply by a negative number you need to reverse or flip the inequality sign) to solve for the range of solutions. Then test answers in the range to make sure you have done it correctly. Also learn how to write the answer on a number line and using interval notation.
