We determine the truth of four inequalities: a < b, |a| > |b|, |a| < |c|, and a < c. By understanding number positions and absolute values, we can easily solve these inequalities. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/IhkRecAtwZKecA5mgr4_7HMBQBdQ8_-qzAZLbRXuTtpgE03NUwFOLQU9ZXazFKjNexYXTm5DhaUXTIo97SQDoh_E Comparing absolute values on the number line In this math lesson, we explore absolute values and inequalities using a number line with three numbers: a, b, and c.

We practice with negative numbers, positive numbers, and absolute values. By plotting these values on the number line, we can easily identify their order and improve our understanding of number relationships. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/ZEeiLqEVNj3PF8_2_5xso2FvHhXk4_HpA4RRdv_3y6xZL7BLv_wVPbepHw3jhPcc3BEk17jDAkrYL95v39E3YbW7xQ Placing absolute values on the number line In this math lesson, we learn to sort values from least to greatest using a number line.

The absolute value is always positive or zero, and it represents the magnitude of a number. By comparing absolute values, we can determine which number is further from zero, regardless of its positive or negative sign.

We examine three different inequalities and test each x value to see if it meets the inequality's conditions. By understanding absolute values and inequalities, we can solve real-world problems and improve our mathematical skills. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/9zIV1Fp8wi3TvOaGUZoiKe3XDoxo7WgpAVd5chQ5jMh9qDXZ4_11CRHS6c1uniBFC4SebApp2OBap2fuQ6p4hQji Testing solutions to absolute value inequalities In this math lesson, we learn how to determine if given values of x satisfy various absolute value inequalities.

Jenna experiences a 3-pound weight loss, while Sarah gains 2.5 pounds and Bill gains 4 pounds. By plotting these changes on a number line, we can determine that Jenna lost the most weight, Bill had the largest change, and Sarah had the smallest change. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/G9Ar8_t64xN7DsOqW7YJZ5a0kgQoDPBf75mmwLk7kjSFdtyJ03nHWeCI8gcjkh1fgSsT34_ig3PO9JtCFFlhRwYGXg Interpreting absolute value In this weight change scenario, three individuals track their monthly progress.
