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.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I think this is what you mean:
-abs%28-y%29=10
-1%2A%28-abs%28-y%29%29=-1%2A10
abs%28-y%29=-10
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.
