Answer:

There is no solution to the given problem [tex]|x|=-2[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is [tex]|x|=-2[/tex].

Now we need to determine if there is solution to this equation or not.

We know that [tex]|x|[/tex] represents absolute value function.

By definition of absolute value function, we know  that output of [tex]|x|[/tex] must always be positive.

But in given equation [tex]|x|=-2[/tex], we have output -2 which is negative.

That is not possible.

Hence there is no solution to the given problem [tex]|x|=-2[/tex].
