Answer:
C
Explanation:
The absolute value function always returns a positive value
However, the expression inside the bars can be positive or negative
| 3 | = 3 and | - 3 | = 3, hence the solution of
| x | = 3 is x = ± 3
Extending this to
| x² - 4 | = 3, then
| x² - 4 | = 3 and | - (x² - 4) | = 3
x² - 4 = 3 ; - (x² - 4) = 3 → C
