Absolute Value Equation BINGO

You will turn in your work for a grade at the end of today's class.

Object of the Game: Be the first to get a BINGO by solving the equations to equal any row of answers on your card.

After someone wins BINGO, we will play for "black out"

Directions: The 25 possible equations are listed below.

Write one answer in each of your bingo game squares. It doesn't matter where they go. "Free Space" goes in the middle.

Work out each absolute value equation in any order you want. Most absolute value equations have 2 answers, so you will usually mark 2 spaces on your game card. As you solve each equation, mark off the squares with those numbers.

If you call BINGO, be prepared to prove it by showing the correct solution process for all equations in your row.


1. |y – 6| = 18

2. |x -3| = 5

3. |n + 9| = 18

4. |x – 2| = 8

5. |x + 4| = 5

6. |x – 1| = -4

7. |x + 3| = 0

8. |x| - 5 = 13

9. |2x – 4| = 18

10. |4x – 2| = 22

11. |x – 3| + 10 = 34

12. |-2x – 1| - 8 = 17

13. 2|x + 8| - 5 = 9
