Answer:

x=−6

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other side. Remember to follow the order of operations.

∣x+2∣−5=−1

Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

∣x+2∣=4

Use the definition of absolute value.

x+2=4

x+2=−4

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

x=2

x=−6
