/x/ = -18 solve this and plz tell me the point of this

doesn't make sense, IxI would normally mean the absolute value of x, which would mean that you would only take the positive value of x if there were 2 solutions. maybe there is more to the question?

My guess would be that the point of this question is for you to understand that the equation cannot be equal as currently written.

|X| represents the magnitude, so it can't be negative.
