Rubber · Answer 1

{-5, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

|x| = 5

We have both a positive and negative solution

x = 5 and x = -5

Zoie Bryan · Answer 2

x is in {-5, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value operator takes away the sign, making the result always positive.

So | - 5 | = 5

but also | 5 | = 5

Hence two solutions.

Solve |x| = 5{-5}{5}{-5, 5}

Solve |x| = 5

{-5}

{5}

{-5, 5}
