I'm not sure how to go about answering this question in my calculus textbook:
|7 - 2x| < 0
I know that there's no way that an absolute value can be negative, so how would I answer the question algebraically since I cannot say:
-0 < 7 - 2x < 0
and when approaching it with the greater than method I get
x>7/2 which still does not make sense when I plug it in.
I'm sure it's super simple :( . Thanks in advance!

You're right, an absolute value cannot be negative, so there is no solution. It's that simple: no solution.
