I don't like giving the answer I like helping others learn how to do the equation. If your willing to learn I can help you get the answer.

Darcey is right. This is using absolute value so the -2 would become 2 So 2x+3=15 Next subtract 3 from both sides 2x=12 Divide both sides by 2 So what is 12/2? The answer to that, is the answer to the equation.
