Question

What is the solution set of –|x| = –8?

Answer 1

-|x|=-8 X=-(-8) X=8 I hope that is good!

Answer 2

x=-8, 8

Explanation:

–|x| = –8

`-|x| = -8`

To solve this absolute value inequality we remove the negative sign on the left hand side

Divide both sides by
`-1`

`|x| =8`

If
`|x|=a` then
`x=a \ and \ x=-a`

`|x| =8`

`x=8 \ and \ x=-8`
