Answer 1

I think the answer is -8,8 because once the number is in the absolute sign everything turns positive

Answer 2

Answer:

O {-8, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

$-|x| = -8\\\\\frac{-|x|=-8}{-1}\\\\|x|=8\\\\\text{Apply rule: If } |u|=a, a > 0, \text {then } u=a \text { or } u=-a\\\\\boxed {x = -8, x = 8}$
