Thanks.
In this question, they're treating right as positive, so the further the particle is to the right, the greater the value of x. Therefore, when considering acceleration, we have to look at acceleration to the right.
This value can be negative however. At the start, we have a negative acceleration to the right.
This value can be negative however. At the start, we have a negative acceleration to the right.

I never thought of it that way. Thanks.
