What are acceptable ways to represent the statement "x is a distance of five from 0." Choose ALL that apply.

x=5 or x=-5
| x | =-5 (absolute value)
| x | =-5 (absolute value)
x<5

Hello! You should select a, b, and c.
Think of it like on a number line, x could be 5, or -5 and still be the same distance from 0. Absolute vales are the same way, so if the answer is 5 or -5, its right! It cant be the last one because x, must only be 5 or -5. Hope that helps!
