1. Solving absolute value equations visually
THINK VISUALLY about Absolute Value Equations and Absolute Value Inequalities
Reading absolute value expressions as DISTANCE on a number line
The distance from 10 to 4 is 6.
The distance from _______________________________. 2.
The distance from ______________________________.
Solving absolute value equations visually
The distance from a number to 5 is 3.
The distance from __________________________________.
NOTE! First, rewrite using subtraction (if - - is a +, then + is a - -),
and then interpret it using distance.

2. Solving absolute value inequalities visually
The distance from __________ to ____ is less than or equal to ___. The distance from ________________________________________.
The distance from __________ to ____ is less than ___.
The distance from ________________________________________.
NOTE! First, rewrite using subtraction
(see #3 above) then interpret using distance.
