What are some rules you need to know when solving absolute value inequalities and equations?

An absolute value equation has no solution if the absolute value expression equals a negative number since an absolute value can never be negative. You can write an absolute value inequality as a compound inequality. This holds true for all absolute value inequalities. You can replace > above with ≥ and < with ≤.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps!

-absolute value inequalities work two ways, not 1

-if it's greater than anything less than 0, then the solution is all real numbers

- if it's less than zero, there is no solution

-dividing by -1 flips the sign

These are just some of the rules that I know
