Solve ANY linear absolute value equation: A MASTERCLASS!

A step by step math tutorial on how to solve linear equations with the absolute value thrown in at random places. The absolute value is common in precalculus and calculus (e.g., in solving inequalities, differentiation problems, integration problems etc.) and is important to master for high school and college students at all levels in order to answer a wide range of questions on homework, assignments, tests and exams. You will be confident with working with equations with the absolute value after watching this video.

We will:

Recall the absolute value (distance to 0 on the number line) and use its definition to explain the basic methodology for solving equations with the absolute value
Solve 5 representative linear equations with the absolute value thrown in at all possible places
Solve tricky equations with the absolute value where we need to plug in our proposed solutions into the original equations to be completely sure that they work (and they might not)
