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.
