    x^2 = 9

    <=>

    |x| = sqrt(9)

    would be correct. That way you get both 3 and -3 for x.

    That’s the way your math teacher would do it. So the correct version of the statement in the picture is: “if x^2 = 9 then abs(x) = 3”

      Cool! Makes sense to me. Honestly, I’ve never done it this way, but it’s so clean. Love it. Thanks.
