abs%282x-10%29%2B7=5 Start with the given equation


abs%282x-10%29=-2 Subtract 7 from both sides.


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



So there are no solutions to the given equation.
