SOLUTION

Given the question in the question tab, the following are the solution steps to solve the question.

Step 1: Define absolute value

The absolute value or modulus of a real number x, denoted |x|, is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign.

Step 2: Find the options that satisfies the equation |x|=100

|x|=100 means the positive and negative values of x should give 100

Therefore, we check the options

Option A: -100


|-100|=100

Option B: 10


|10|=10

Option C: 100


|100|=100

Option D: -10


|-10|=10_{}

Option E: 25


|25|=25

Hence, it can be seen that the options with the correct answers are options A and C.
