Determine the possible values of x:
1) $|x| \leq 7$
\(\boxed{-7 \leq x \leq 7}\)
Step 1 :The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. Therefore, \(|x| \leq 7\) means that x is within 7 units of zero on the number line.
Step 2 :This means that x can be any number from -7 to 7, inclusive.
Step 3 :\(\boxed{-7 \leq x \leq 7}\)
