100

What does it mean when we say you have to clean up the problem?

A variaty of answers can apply (you will receive points if your group says something that makes sense)

100

3x - 2= 25

x= 9

100

|−7|

7

100

| 8b -10 |= 58

b= 68/8  & b= -6

200

Distance can never be...

Negative

200

What do these signs indicate: < >

Less than, greater than, need to use open circle when graphing 

200

4x + 2= 2x + 12

x=5

200

2|-8-3|

22

200

5 | 2 + v | +9 = 14

v=−1 and v=−3

300

If the distance is negative... then your answer is...

No Solution

300

What do these signs indicate: ≤ ≥

Less than or equal to, greater than or equal to, need to use closed circle when graphing

300

-3 (2h - 4) = 20 - 4h

h=-4

300

| x+3 |/6=-12

No Solution

300

|x-8| > 15

n > 23  and n < -7

400

How many cases are there when solving absolute value problems?

400

What is the difference between closed circle and open circle?

Closed circle can be used when a number CAN equal the other number, open circle is used when a number CANNOT equal the other number 
400

2x - (2 - 3x)= 12x +40

x=-6

400

-2x+7>-11  - Do not forget to graph

x<9

400

|8+b|+10 ≤ 12

b ≥ -10  and b ≤ -6

500

What do you do with the second case?

flip the sign and change the symbol

500

Can you distribute for the following equation: 

2|-9+6m|+1= 57

No (explain/ review as a group)

500

22(x+3) + 9 - 5 = 32

x=4

500

20+x ≥ 4(−5+2x) - Do not forget to graph

x= -40

500

7|x+10|+10 < 80

x<0 and x>-20
