You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"abs%282x-10%29%2B7=5\"$ Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%282x-10%29=-2\"$ Subtract 7 from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the expression $\"abs%282x-10%29=-2\"$ is never true (note: remember, the absolute value of any number is always positive), there are no solutions to $\"abs%282x-10%29=-2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So there are no solutions to the given equation. \n" ); document.write( "
