6.5 Solving Absolute Value Equations

IXL.com has practice available on this topic.  See L.1 under the Algebra 1 tab on that site. 

Key teaching point:  Remember to set up two equations to find your TWO solutions to an absolute value equation.  The first equation is the same just without the bars (absolute value symbol).   The second equation is the same as the first except the number that is isolated is changed to a negative.
