Solving Absolute Value Equations – Real-Life Tolerance & Modeling Made Easy
Learn how to solve absolute value equations and apply them to real-life scenarios involving tolerances, such as thermostat settings, packaging weights, fuel gauges, and ride safety requirements. This video walks through step-by-step examples, starting with basic absolute value equations and building up to modeling constraints using absolute value in real-world contexts.
This lesson aligns with the following Common Core State Standards (CCSS):
HSA.REI.B.3 – Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
HSA.CED.A.3 – Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context.
In this video:
Review how to solve absolute value equations with one variable
Understand how absolute value models tolerance in real-world measurements
Explore examples involving temperature, fuel levels, weight packaging, and ride height limits
Interpret solution sets in meaningful contexts
This video is ideal for students, teachers, and parents looking for clear explanations that connect algebra to practical applications, all while supporting CCSS learning goals.
