Explanation:

In mathematics, the absolute value |x|, is the non-negative result of x without regard to its sign.

An absolute function, can never have a negative result.

By this alone, you can solve the question because the inequality is false, and therefore there are zero solutions.

Please see the attachment of f(x) = |x - 7|.

When you look at the graph, you can easily confirm that there is no value which can result in a negative y- coordinate like -2. In fact, that is the whole purpose of any absolute value or function. The result of an absolute function can never be negative.
