<h2>Solving Equations with Absolute Expressions</h2><h3>
Answer:</h3>
<u>No Solutions</u>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Given:

Rewriting the given equation:

We have to realize that the right side of the equation,
, will always be positive no matter what real values of
(because we're taking the absolute value of the expression) and we are equating it to a <em>negative</em> constant number,
. Something that is always positive will never be negative so there's no value for
that satisfies the solution.
