This research aims to describe the forms of student misconceptions and the factors that cause misconceptions experienced by students in solving linear inequality problems with one variable containing absolute values in class X SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pontianak. The subjects of this research were students of class X IPA 3 SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pontianak, totaling 25 students. The research uses descriptive method as the research method. Case study is a form of research used.
