Question

* 1. If [x] = 8, then what are the values of x?

Answer 1

x = 8, x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function gives the magnitude of a number, i.e its distance from zero

|x| = 8 tells us that the number x is 8 units away from zero on the number line. Now there are two numbers that are 8 units away from zero. One is x = 8 and the other is x = -8.
