Answer:
x = 2
x = -2
Explanation:
The absolute value of x is the distance from the point x to 0.
Given:
|x| = 2
This means you have to find such points, the distances from which to 0 is equal to 2.
There are two such points: 2 and -2. They are symmetric about 0 (lies on the same distance from 0).
The attached diagram shows the positions of these two points.
