Answer 1

All absolut values are equal to the number inside but the result is always positive. So, if you have |-2|, this equals 2 as well as |2| equals 2.
So, the answers are
1) 2 only
2) 3 only
3)7 only
4) 3/4 only

If the question was the other way around

What is x if |x| =2, then the answers would be 2 and -2

Got it?

Answer 2

The absolute value is always >=0
1) only 2) only 3 3) only 7 4)3/4 only
