An absolute-value equation that simplifies to an absolute-value
equaling a negative number, has no solutions. An absolute-value
equation that simplifies to an absolute-value equaling 0, has only
one solution.
Step 1 Locate the variable you are asked to solve for in the
equation.
Step 2 Identify the operations on this variable and the order in
which they are applied.
Step 3 Use inverse operations to undo operations and isolate the
variable.
You can solve proportions for a missing value by using the Cross
Products Property, which states that in a proportion, cross
products are equal. Then solve the equation for the missing value.
When adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing the same
nonzero number on both sides of an equation, the statement will
still be true.
