i'll try giving an example again...

|x+3| - 2 = 4

first step is to add 2

|x+3| = 4+2
|x+3| = 6

now i solve for x when

x + 3 = 6 and x+3 = -6

when x + 3 = 6
x = 6 - 3
x = -3

when x + 3 = -6
x = -6 - 3
x = -9

does that help?

|x − 2| + 10 = 12 
means
x-2+10=12
or 
2-x+10=12

x= 12-10+2
x=4
or 
-x = 12-10-2
-x = 0
x = 0
