\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " the absolute value of -y is multiplied by a negative sign = 10
\n" ); document.write( "What is the value of Y?
\n" ); document.write( "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. \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I think this is what you mean:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-abs%28-y%29=10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1%2A%28-abs%28-y%29%29=-1%2A10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"abs%28-y%29=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "By definition, the absolute value is always greater than or equal to zero.
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore there is no y that can solve this equation. No solution. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
