Basic Math Examples

| y | = 19

$| y | = 19$

Step 1

Remove the absolute value term. This creates a

\pm

$\pm$ on the right side of the equation because

| x | = \pm x

$| x | = \pm x$ .

y = \pm 19

$y = \pm 19$

Step 2

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

Step 2.1

First, use the positive value of the

\pm

$\pm$ to find the first solution.

y = 19

$y = 19$

Step 2.2

Next, use the negative value of the

\pm

$\pm$ to find the second solution.

y = - 19

$y = - 19$

Step 2.3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

y = 19, - 19

$y = 19, - 19$

y = 19, - 19

$y = 19, - 19$
