Hey there!

ORIGINAL EQUATION:
|x + 2| = 3

TRANSLATE:

x + 2 = 3 or x + 2 = -3


SOLVING for: x + 2 = 3

SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES

x + 2 - 2 = 3 - 2

CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 1

KEEP: 3 - 2 because help solve for the current x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 3 - 2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 1


Thus, your answer is: x = 2

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\


SOLVING for: x + 2 = -3

SUBTRACT 2 to BOTH SIDES

x + 2 - 2 = -3 - 2

CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 0

KEEP: -3 - 2 because it help solve for the current x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = -3 - 2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = -5

Thus, your answer is: x = -5

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\


Therefore, your answer is: x = 1 or x = -5


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
