Remark

If it does not have more water flowing in to take the place of the water flowing out, then the question can be solved by the formula below.

Formula

Total amount of water = the rate flowing out * the time to empty the container.

Givens

Amount of water = 50 quarts

Rate = 2.5 quarts / min

Solve

50 = 2.5 * t

t = 50 / 2.5

t = 20 quarts per minute. But there is a lot of possible variation to this question.

Bearing in mind that an absolute value expression is in effect a piece-wise function with two cases, thus

$\bf |-n|=
\begin{cases}
+(-n)\\
-(-n)
\end{cases}\implies 
\begin{cases}
-n\\
n
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
n|-n|=2n\implies 
\begin{cases}
n-n=2n\implies 0=2n\implies &0=n\\
n+n=2n\implies 2n=2n\impliedby &inconsistent
\end{cases}$
