abs%286x-9%29%2B5=2 Start with the given equation


abs%286x-9%29=-3 Subtract 5 from both sides.


Since the expression abs%286x-9%29=-3 is NEVER true (note: remember, the absolute value of any number is always positive), there are no solutions to abs%286x-9%29=-3


So there are no solutions to the equation abs%286x-9%29%2B5=2
