9. Solve: x = 4 Absolute Value What numbers work for x? 4 = 4 or -4 = 4 x could = 4 or x could = -4

10. Solve: x + 2 = 4 Absolute Value What numbers work for x? x + 2 could = 4 or x + 2 could = -4 x + 2 = 4 - 2 -2 x = 2 or x + 2 = -4 -2 -2 x = -6 2-6 Always check your answers

11. x + 4 > 6 Absolute Value x + 4 > 6 x + 4 could be bigger than 6 x + 4 < - 6 x + 4 could be less than -6 x + 4 > 6 -4 -4 x > 2 x + 4 < - 6 -4 -4 x < -10 0-2-4426-6-88-10

12. Absolute Value 0-2-4426-6-88-10 x + 4 < 6 x + 4 < 6 x + 4 could be less than 6 x + 4 > -6 x + 4 could be bigger than -6 -6 < x + 4 < 6 that means x + 4 could be between -6 and 6 -6 < x + 4 < 6 -4 - 4 -4 -10 < x < 2
