"1. absolute value[x] = 16.8
2. absolute value[x] = -16.8"
^That is actually not true, as absolute value is always defined as a postive integer. HOWEVER, the value of x in |x| can be positive or negative. Therefore, if |x| = 16.8, then indeed, x = 16.8, x = -16.8
|x| = +/- 16.8

Absolute value strips off the - sign, so x = 16.8 or x = -16.8.

*When you have the absolute value sign > you will have two solutions.
1. absolute value[x] = 16.8
2. absolute value[x] = -16.8
First: eliminate the absolute value...
1. x = 16.8
2. x = -16.8
x = 16.8, -16.8
