solve the absolute value equation, if possible. if there is no solution, explain why. |5x+13| = -7 Show work

OpenStudy (141823):

5x + 13 = -7 Subtract 13 from both sides 5x = -20 divide by 5 for both sides x = -4 (5x + 13 stay the same since its absolute value would be the same)

so my complete answer would be x= -4?

OpenStudy (141823):

Yes, make sure you show your work if you need to.
