1. X+y = z
2. X,0

OA is C
Why is A wrong.

x+y = z => x=z-y => x = -Y+Z => -x = y-z. since X is absolute above equation proves true.

what is incorrect in my thinkning.

To see what's wrong with (1), it's probably easiest to examine two sets of numbers that satisfy the conditions in statement (1) but yield conflicting answers to the question "is |x| = y-z?"
a) x=1, y=2, and z=3 --> here |x| DOES NOT equal y-z?
b) x=-1, y=3, and z=2 --> here |x| DOES equal y-z?

Here's the problem: x+y = z => x=z-y => x = -Y+Z => -x = y-z
While all of the above conclusions are correct, we can't then conclude that |x|=y-z.
The conclusion is true if x is a negative number.
However, if x is positive, we have a problem (see my earlier sets of numbers to see this).
If x is positive then y-z is a negative number.
So, when we find the abolute value of x, the result is positive. But, this positive value is supposed to be (by your conclusion) equal to y-z, which happens to be a negative value.
