Question

If |x| = 4, then x = 4.
True
False

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

x =4 is one possibility, by the value could also be x = -4

This is because it is absolute value (|x| means the absolute value of x) . The absolute value of anything is always a positive number. This is because absolute value denotes how far away a number is from 0. So, the absolute value of 3 is 3. The absolute value of -10 is 10. And, in this case, the absolute value of -4 is 4, and so is the absolute value of 4.

So, x = 4 or x = -4

Answer 2

False

Explanation:

x could equal -4 or 4

|x| means the absolute value of x. Absolute value is how far a number is from 0. -4 is 4 units away from 0. 4 is also 4 units away from 0.
