Answer

Problem

Calculate the equation
\$ | x + 2 | = | x + 3 | \$

Formula:

By using formula

\$| x | = | x |\$

Hint

By removing mod we get(+) or (-)

\$x=x (or) x=-x \$

Step

By simplifying we get

\$ x + 2 = x + 3 (or) x + 2 = -( x + 3 ) = - x - 3 \$

Step

Move 'x' variable terms right hand side and constant terms left hand side

\$ x - x = 3 - 2 (or) x + x = - 3 - 2 \$

Step

After simplification we get

\$ 0 = 1 (or) 2x = -5 \$

Step

Dividing on both sides by '2' we get

\$ \cancel2/\cancel2x = -5/2 \$

Step

After cancellation we get

\$ x = -5/2 \$
