Question

Solve.

Answer 1

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$\displaystyle \large{|x|-5=-20}$

First, Add both sides by 5 which leaves us $\displaystyle \large{|x|=-15}$

By definition, an absolute value cannot be negative. There are no x-values that can equal to -15 because no matter what real numbers you put in or substitute, it will never become negative.

Hence, no solution.
