the statement is false

Answer 2

@newmonei : you can get people to give you the answers to all these questions. But if you don't understand the concept here which we're trying to ask you about, then you will not understand those answers and it's a pointless exercise.

Answer 3

|x+2|=14-16=-2
removing modulus
