Answer:

8 and -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value is the magnitude of quantity, irrespective of sign; the distance of a quantity from zero. The absolute value of a number is symbolized by two vertical lines, as |8| or |-8| is equal to 8.

The absolute value of number a:

  • ⇒ |a| = a for a ≥ 0
  • ⇒ |a| = -a for a < 0

|a| = 8 ⇔ a = 8 or a = -8
