What's on the worksheet

  1. Solve each equation, or write no solution.
    |y + 3| = 8|m| + 7 = 75|k| = 35|n - 4| + 9 = 2-3|p + 1| = -12
  2. Decide without solving if each equation has none, one or two solutions.
    |2x - 9| + 4 = 46 - |x| = 8|x - 1| = 0.01-|3x + 1| = -57|x + 2| + 3 = 3
  3. Marble jar contest: use the score rule to find the possible guesses.
  4. Find every value of a that gives x equal to 4 as a solution, and the other solution.
  5. Check Owen's solution of an absolute value equation and find his mistake.
  6. Solve with k equal to 1, then find k for exactly one solution.
  7. Find the numbers b and d that give two stated solutions.
