PROCEDURE : A. Preparation
Routinary activities
Prayer
Checking of the attendance
B. Motivation
Present the following symbols on the board and ask the students to give
their observation.
|-4 | = 4
|-14 + 3 | = 11
|21 + (-8)| = 13
C. Presentation
Present these questions to the class.
1. Who can define absolute value?
2. What does it mean linear equation and inequality involving absolute
value?
A. Discussion/Abstraction
The absolute value of a number x (denoted by |x|) is the distance of the
number from zero on the number line. The absolute value of zero is zero.
The absolute value of a positive number is itself. The absolute value of a
negative number is its positive counterpart. Many absolute value equations
are not easy to solve by guess-and-check method. An easier way maybe to
use is the procedure in the given example.
Also, if a =

−4 -11 = |(−22 )−4|−11
=|−26|−11
= 26-11
= 15 True.
Example 2: Solve |5 x +4| + 12 = 4.
Step 1: Let the expression
on one side of the |5 x +4| + 12 = 4
equation consist only of a |5 x +4| + 12 + (-12) = 4 (-12) (APE)
single absolute value |5 x +4| = - 8
expression.
Step 2: Is the number on Yes, it is a negative number. There is no
the other side of the solution because |5 x +4| can never be
equation negative? negative, no matter what we substitute for
x.
Example: Solve |2 x+ 3|>13
Step 1: This is 2 x+3 <−13 2 x+3 >13
a greater than
absolute value
inequality. Set
up two
separate
inequalities
Step 2: Solve 2 x+3−3<−13−3 (API) 2 x+3−3>13−3 (API)
the two
inequalities.
( 12 ) 2 x ←16( 12 ) (MPI) ( 12 ) 2 x >10( 12 ) (MPI)
x <−8 x >5
E. Exercises
Board Work:
Solve the following linear equation and inequality involving absolute value.
1. |x – 11| < 9
2. |x| + 12 = 4
3. |6b| -12 ≥ 6
F.Generalization
What do we need to consider in solving linear equations and inequalities
involving absolute value?
G. Application
H. Evaluation
Directions: Solve and find the solution set of the following linear equations
and inequalities algebraically.
1. |n| – 3 = 39
2. |3 x +1| = 22
3. |1−2 x|<5
4. |b−7|<6
