Question 146592
{{{10 - abs(x + 2) = 12}}} Start with the given equation



{{{ - abs(x + 2) = 2}}} Subtract



{{{abs(x + 2) = -2}}} Multiply both sides by -1 to remove the negative sign on the left side.



Since the absolute value of any number is <b>always</b> positive, this means that {{{abs(x + 2) = -2}}} is <b>not</b> possible. So there are no solutions.
