Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

Your question is in the form:

absval of something

= a NEGATIVE number



The absolute value is always positive. So it can never be negative.

There are no values that x can be that will make this math sentence true.

It's not really a trick question, but the course/teacher/book/program just wants you to recognize that an absolute value CANNOT be negative.
