Solve the following equation
|x/2|<10

Solve for x

|0.5x| < 10

Absolute Value Equations
Since this is an absolute value inequality
Setup two inequalities

• 0.5x < 10
• 0.5x < -10

Solve Equation 1 → 0.5x < 10

Divide each side of absolute value inequality 1 by 0.5

Keep our <

0.5x
0.5

<

10

0.5

Solution to absolute value equation 1 is
x < 20

Solve Equation 2 → 0.5x < -10

Divide each side of absolute value inequality 2 by 0.5

Keep our <

0.5x
0.5

<

-10

0.5

Solution to absolute value equation 2 is
x < -20
