or sir. hihihi  x = 2 or −2   because ∣x∣ =  { ((x ; if x≥0)),((−x; if x< 0)) :}

$${or}\:{sir}.\:{hihihi} \\ $$$${x}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\:{or}\:−\mathrm{2}\: \\ $$$${because}\:\mid{x}\mid\:=\:\begin{cases}{{x}\:;\:{if}\:{x}\geqslant\mathrm{0}}\\{−{x};\:{if}\:{x}<\:\mathrm{0}}\end{cases} \\ $$

x=2∧x=−2 is false because  a=b∧a=c ⇒ b=c  we write x=2∨x=−2 but we should write  x=2 xor x=−2 because “∨” excludes only  “none of both”  a     b     a∧b     a∨b     a xor b  1     1        1             1              0  1     0        0             1              1  0     1        0             1              1  0     0        0             0              0  where 1 means true and 0 means false
