| x | = 6

$| x | = 6$

Step 1

Remove the absolute value term. This creates a

\pm

$\pm$ on the right side of the equation because

| x | = \pm x

$| x | = \pm x$ .

x = \pm 6

$x = \pm 6$

Step 2

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

Step 2.1

First, use the positive value of the

\pm

$\pm$ to find the first solution.

x = 6

$x = 6$

Step 2.2

Next, use the negative value of the

\pm

$\pm$ to find the second solution.

x = - 6

$x = - 6$

Step 2.3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

x = 6, - 6

$x = 6, - 6$

x = 6, - 6

$x = 6, - 6$

| x | = 6

$| x | = 6$
