How do I know if the answer is positive or negative

For example:

In case of numbers we take the principle root “5”

When solve an equation

x2 = 25, you take the square root of both sides. Since Square roots are even “2”, the answer is 5 and -5

The ± symbol

± means positive and negative

So

Since x2 is positive, it does not have to be in an absolute value
