No textbook or video explains this better than you do, Khan! We all appreciate the hard work that you put into your videos because without you some of us would be lost. Khan, you are such a wonderful person!
hahaha i was just kidding i thought your comment was funny…you know asking someone on the internet if they are in your class... i actually don't have any clue on who mrs.erskine is...
Omg I've gone my whole life without understanding absolute value correctly. I'm studying for the GRE and was really struggling with these problems. Great video!
Using intuition and thinking about the number line is great. I've been reviewing super old stuff but a textbook just had one memorize steps for each type of inequality without really explaining why you do things. With intuition I'll never forget how it works.
The best part of khans video is that he doesn't just want you to memorize it he actually wants you to understand what he's talkin about. My teachers should learn from you.Keep Up the great work khan!!!!!!
I always look for your tutorials first! you break it down into steps that are very simplistic. Thats how my mind needs to see it in order to do it on my own. I wanna know WHY we do something, and you tell that. Thanks so much!! Life saver for sure! ;-)
Melody Liu I'm having midterms in two weeks as well, but I posted this comment on June 7th last year. At that time I was having finals. Btw that final was hard and none of this was even on it. I totally failed, but I think he curved it so I ended up getting a B :(.
TYSM!!! My teacher is pregnant so she can't teach us fully, these videos really help me to study before and just get my clarification for her. You are a lifesaver :)
bro I'm already a sophomore and I still didn't know how to solve absolute value inequalities. thank you so much this really helped a lot. I literally forgot everything I learned in middle school and my freshman year
Understood more in 13 minutes than what my math teacher tried to explain in 2 hours. It's all about getting a different perspective on something people! That's how genius' think. If you don't understand something, look at it from a different perspective or find someone to explain it to you from a different perspective.
This is so awesome-thank you! this is a million times better than your own teacher because you can play this video over and over as many times as you need and you can pause the video, etc. - you can't pause a teacher
the way that you explained this made things so clear to me . drawing out the line to visualize was so helpful .thank you very much for taking the time to make this video!
Because of the definition of absolute value, the less sign means that a less absolute value set extends from 0 to a real number on one side of the number and from 0 to another real number on the other side, creating a spectrum of sorts. However, the plus sign signifies that the absolute value in question extends from a real number to positive infinity on one side of the line and from another real number to negative infinity on the other side, creating two separate spectrums. Make sense?
These videos help so much with sat questions! I prefer these videos over the sat specific ones! These help with content wholes in my prep work! Very helpful!!
@Jess07496 "and" is when the sign is "less than" "or" is used when the sign is "more than" - it is like this because when it is "less than" the line you make on the number line is connected because it includes solutions from the negetive side AND the positive side. But when it is "more than" the line is NOT continous and the solution is either from the negetive side OR the positive side. Sorry if it seems confusing...tried my best to explain.
since you have to multiply both sides by 7, the 7 gets distributed to all terms. Terms are separated by a + or - sign. For example: if x + y = z, then you have to multiply all terms by a constant to keep the equation true: ax + ay = az. it is like saying a(x + y) = a(z), where the a has to be distributed. same is true with x-y=z --> ax-ay=az. same is also true with x+y>z (inequalities) if a is positive. in this case the constant, a, is 7 in the video. hope that makes sense!
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! i am taking an online summer math class and it never makes any sense till i watch and listen to you solve the problem!!! thank you!!! :D
exponential functions with Absolute Value Inequalities are really tricky and deserve their own video. for example, try solving |x^2-9|>7 not as easy as it seems, I guarentee...

Ive always just memorised formulas. Understanding whats happening here has made it easier for me to solve them by just looking at the equation, because I understand what is happening
You saved my butt sir, I didn't have a clear grasp on absolute value and inequalities and absolute value earlier in class today, but now it is crystal clear (well, almost)!

"You shouldn't be memorising any rules."
That's a very good point - it is almost always better to develop a real intuition for things.
I studied my entire HIGH SCHOOL mathematics from Khan Academy.

I think this is the best video ever on ABSOLUTE INEQUALITIES.
by 5 min of your video i understood more than my teacher's hour and half lecture
Omg I wish all school teachers taught like this. Sal makes everything easier. I love him.
Its ironic that if school teachers were good and explained the topic good this channel wouldn't be as popular or even exist.
There are like 3 people on youtube that teach me everything math. You are one of these people and I thank you.
look guys:
absolute < # } and
value
absolute > # } or
value
hope you all understand!! love ya
As always, amazing job. Really helps.
Thank You

Thank you, man, you've taught me thing I had never could understand
الفيديو درته قبل 11سنه وفي ناس الي2021تشاهد فيه ❤️❤️❤️شكرا علي مجهوداتك الرائعه
I think a better way of doing |5x+3| < 7 would be to write it in the equivalent form -7 < 5x+3 < 7, and then proceed from that.
@Jess07496 "and" is when the sign is "less than" "or" is used when the sign is "more than" - it is like this because when it is "less than" the line you make on the number line is connected because it includes solutions from the negetive side AND the positive side.

since you have to multiply both sides by 7, the 7 gets distributed to all terms. Terms are separated by a + or - sign.
For example: if x + y = z, then you have to multiply all terms by a constant to keep the equation true: ax + ay = az. it is like saying a(x + y) = a(z), where the a has to be distributed.
same is true with x-y=z --> ax-ay=az.
same is also true with x+y>z (inequalities) if a is positive.
in this case the constant, a, is 7 in the video.
hope that makes sense!
Thanks! My son was failing his math, and now.. he ain’t a disappointment!
wow. this is so easy after watching the first 1 minute. thanks!
homestudying a levels and khan became my math bff XD
Khan academy always clears my doubt. It shows me reasons and how things are but my teacher just teaches the rules only.
thank you for explaining in effective reasoning the absolute value concept
wow! i actually understand this, visualizing it with the number line really helped
i can’t understand my teachers teaching but this video actually made me get the hang of it
