You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"abs%282x-5%29=-5\"$ Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember, the absolute value of any number is ALWAYS positive\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So this means that $\"abs%282x-5%29=-5\"$ is NEVER true (since the right side is negative)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So there are no solutions to $\"abs%282x-5%29=-5\"$ \r
