You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
The absolute value of a number is the distance of that number from 0 on a number line. Since the absolute value of x is 5, it means that x is either 5 units to the right of 0 or 5 units to the left of 0. Therefore, there are two possible values for x: x = 5 or x = -5.
