Absolute values are always NON-NEGATIVE, not only positive. The very fact that the absolute value expression is non-negative means that FOR ANY x VALUE you plug in, the inequality is always TRUE, and so the solution set cannot be empty, on the contrary, is the set of all real numbers. Now you know, dear student!
