This equation has no solution. See explanation.

First step in solving such task is to move all the numbers right and leaving only the absolute value on the left side:

$| 2 y - 7 | = - 6$ $|2y-7|=-6$

From the above form we can say that therea re no solutions. Left hand side is an absolute value expression, so it cannot be nagative.
