Question 103395: What is the solution for this

the absolute value of -y is multiplied by a negative sign = 10
What is the value of Y?
I solved it as the absolute value of -y is y, therefore when it is multiplied by negative sign it is negative y. -y =10, therefore y= -10. IS THIS Correct.

I think this is what you mean:

By definition, the absolute value is always greater than or equal to zero.
Therefore there is no y that can solve this equation. No solution.
