The answer is: x in {}

If there is only one absolute value operator, leave it alone at a side of the equation first. That makes easier to solve them.

2abs(3-x)=-5

abs(3-x) = -5/2

Now we can see that there is no such value of x to solve this equation since the absolute value operator returns only non-negative.

The result is: x in {}
