Question

Solve |x| = -15
i need help

Answer 1

x=±15

Explanation:

When we have absolute value equations, the first step is always to isolate the absolute value. This has already been done.

We know that a quantity in absolute value can be negative or positive, so in order to solve for it, we take the quantity inside the expression--in this case x--and set it equal to negative OR positive of the term on the right side. In this problem, this step would look like this:

`x=-15` (the original right-side quantity)

and you would also need to solve for

`x=15`

So
`x` can be ±15

Answer 2

answer is 15

cuz its absolute value
