your giving different answers when i ask you again
Apologies for the confusion. The integer -20 would best represent the event of withdrawing $20 from a bank account (III).
To find the value of x when the absolute value of x is 5, we know that the absolute value of a number is always positive. So, we can consider two possibilities:
1. x = 5: In this case, the absolute value of 5 is indeed 5.
2. x = -5: Similarly, the absolute value of -5 is also 5, as the absolute value simply ignores the sign of the number.
Therefore, the value of x can be either -5 or 5.
