Math Problem Statement

−2=|6-x|

Solution

The given equation is:
2=6x-2 = |6 - x|

Step 1: Understand Absolute Value

The absolute value of any expression is always non-negative (i.e., A0|A| \geq 0 for all real numbers AA). However, the left side of the equation is negative (2-2), which is impossible for an absolute value expression.

Step 2: Conclusion

Since there is no real number that satisfies this equation, the equation has no solution.
