The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
If \( \left|x + 0\right| \) - 6 = -5, which of these is a possible value for x?
| -1 | |
| -6 | |
| 10 | |
