to solve for x: 2|x+2|-1=5    first isolate the absolute value so add 1 to both sides
                              +1 +1
                     2|x+2|  = 6     then divide by 2 on both sides
                     /2             /2
                       |x+2| = 3      then you can separate both sides into
         x+2=3         and       -(x+2)=3
                                         -x - 2 = 3   then solve for x for both...
