<PRE><B>Question 174184</B>
{{{abs(2x-5)=-5}}} Start with the given equation



Remember, the absolute value of any number is &lt;font size=4&gt;&lt;b&gt;ALWAYS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; positive



So this means that {{{abs(2x-5)=-5}}} is &lt;font size=4&gt;&lt;b&gt;NEVER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; true (since the right side is negative)



So there are no solutions to {{{abs(2x-5)=-5}}}
