Locate the Solution(s) on a Graph of Two Functions: The graph below was generated by sketching functions from the equation . The blue graph is the function  and represents the left side of the equation. The red graph is the function  and represents the right side of the equation. Which points (A, B, C, D) on the graph represent solutions to the equation? Select all that are solutions.

Set up the Equations: Absolute value represents distance. Absolute value equations separate into two separate equations because we must consider the distance in both the left and the right directions.    The equation splits into these two equations: Equation in the left direction: Equation in the right direction:
