Absolute Value Equation: Solution Verification
A maintenance technician is solving the equation to calibrate a pressure sensor. After the first step of isolating the absolute value expression, the technician concludes that the equation has no solution. State the numerical value the technician found on the right side of the equation after isolation, and recall the fundamental property of absolute value that justifies this conclusion.
