Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{|x|-5=-20}[/tex]

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

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.
