Solving Absolute-Value
Equations and Inequalities
A compound statement is made up of more than
one equation or inequality.
A disjunction is a compound statement that uses
the word or.
Disjunction: x ≤ –3 OR x > 2
Set builder notation: {x|x ≤ –3 U x > 2}
A disjunction is true if and only if at least one of its
parts is true.

A conjunction is a compound statement that uses
the word and.
U
Conjunction: x ≥ –3 AND x < 2
Set builder notation: {x|x ≥ –3
x < 2}.
A conjunction is true if and only if all of its parts
are true. Conjunctions can be written as a single
statement as shown.
x ≥ –3 and x< 2
–3 ≤ x < 2

Reading Math
Dis- means “apart.” Disjunctions have two
separate pieces. Con- means “together”
Conjunctions represent one piece.

Solving Absolute-Value
Equations and Inequalities
Recall that the absolute value of a number x,
written |x|, is the distance from x to zero on the
number line. Because absolute value represents
distance without regard to direction, the absolute
value of any real number is nonnegative.

Solving Absolute-Value
Equations and Inequalities
The solutions of |x| < 3 are the points that are
less than 3 units from zero. The solution is a
conjunction: –3 < x < 3.

Equations and Inequalities
The solutions of |x| > 3 are the points that are more
than 3 units from zero. The solution is a disjunction:
x < –3 or x > 3.

Helpful Hint
Think: Greator inequalities involving > or ≥
symbols are disjunctions.
Think: Less thand inequalities involving < or
≤ symbols are conjunctions.

Note: The symbol ≤ can replace <, and the rules
still apply. The symbol ≥ can replace >, and the
rules still apply.

or –4q ≤ –12
Subtract 2 from both
sides of each inequality.
or q ≥ 3
Divide both sides of
each inequality by –4
and reverse the
inequality symbols.
