Absolute Value Equations

Absolute value equations have two answers: one on the positive side and one on the negative side. We need to get the absolute value by itself on one side of the equation. Then, we need to solve the equation twice: once regularly, and once by flipping the signs of everything on the opposite side of the equation. We will have two answers when we are finished. NOTE: just because you are making two equations, one with a positive side and one with a negative side, does not mean that you have to have both a positive and a negative answer. You can have two negative answers, two positive answers, or one of each.

Five extra bonus points if you solve and graph this equation correctly and bring it into me by Friday, August 31st:      4|2c + 2| > 4c + 10. Good luck!

Shout out to Zadie Williams for her incredibly neat work and perseverance in a room full of upperclassmen! Great job! Shout out to Destiney Barnes for being the smartest person at Marion High School last year!
