Find the absolute value of xx when x=15x=15 and x=15x=-15. The absolute value of both 15 and -15 is 15.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We need to find the absolute value of xx.
2. The given values for xx are 1515 and 15-15.
3. The absolute value of a number is the non-negative value of that number without regard to its sign.

STEP 2

First, we will find the absolute value of xx when x=15x=15.
x=15|x| = |15|

STEP 3

Since 15 is already a non-negative number, its absolute value is the same as the number itself.
15=15|15| = 15

STEP 4

Next, we will find the absolute value of xx when x=15x=-15.
x=15|x| = |-15|

STEP 5

The absolute value of a negative number is its positive counterpart, so the absolute value of 15-15 is 1515.
15=15|-15| = 15

STEP 6

Now we have found the absolute values for both x=15x=15 and x=15x=-15. Both are 1515.
The absolute values are 15=15|15| = 15 and 15=15|-15| = 15.
Both values are 1515.
