-|x|=-9-|-2|
The absolute value of a real number a is a when a\geq 0, or -a when a<0. The absolute value of -9 is 9.
-|x|=-9-2
The absolute value of a real number a is a when a\geq 0, or -a when a<0. The absolute value of -2 is 2.
-|x|=-11
Subtract 2 from -9 to get -11.
|x|=\frac{-11}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
|x|=11
Fraction \frac{-11}{-1} can be simplified to 11 by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
x=11 x=-11
Use the definition of absolute value.
