Question

|?| = -10
Find the missing number if possible.

Answer 1

Not possible

Explanation:

Once the absolute value signs are applied, the values inside will always be made positive. Because you have no other way to make the number negative after the signs were applied, this formula isn't possible.

For example if you were to plug a -10 inside the absolute value signs, it would change the number to 10.

|-10| = 10
