What is the solution set of |–x| = –10?

Answer
A
{10}
B
{–10}
C
{–10, 10}
D
no solution

Explanation

The absolute value of any real number is always zero or positive. Since –10 is negative, there is no value of x for which |–x| equals –10, so the solution set is empty. The correct choice is “no solution.”
