The given expression is,


\lvert n\rvert=3.5

So we know that, the absolute value of a number is its distance from the origin, say 0. SInce the distance cannot be expressed in negative values, absolute values are always expressed as positive numbers. FOr example,


\lvert-x\rvert=\lvert x\rvert=x

Therefore, the values that make the given expression true can be,


\lvert n\rvert=3.5\Rightarrow n=-3.5\text{ or n=3.5}
