How to Solve Absolute Value Equations Step by Step

In this video, we solve an absolute value equation step by step:
8∣2x+3∣=16
Absolute value equations are tricky because they often have two solutions, and many students only find one. In this lesson, we explain why that happens and how to set up both cases correctly every time.
This exact type of problem appears in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and on standardized exams such as the SAT, ACT, GED, HiSET, ASVAB, ACCUPLACER, and teacher certification tests. It’s also a great refresher for adults relearning algebra fundamentals.
Before watching — try solving it yourself and see if you get both answers!
