How to solve absolute value equations using sympy?

Question

Given the equation |x - 5| + |y| = 5, how can one solve it using SymPy?

If I'm using a combination of solve() and Abs() it gives me this error

solving Abs(x - 5) when the argument is not real or imaginary

But, at the beginning of my session I wrote down that

x, y, z = symbols('x, y, z', RealNumber = True)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Okay, I've found out, what was the problem. The declaration was wrong, so I had to change it to the form

x, y, z = symbols('x y z', real=True)
