Answer

The two dashes around x-3 represent a modulus. What a modulus does is that it converts whatever is inside it to a positive. So that would mean there are two possible values that would give us 0 a positive x-3 and a negative x-3 meaning -x+3. That would mean x becomes 3 in both the situations.

 

Steps

 

  1. x-3=0   and     -x+3=0
  2. x=3
