Answer:

No solutions

Explanation:

One way in which to solve this absolute value problem is to divide it through by 5, obtaining: |x + 2| = - 20

Here it becomes obvious that we have a negative result for an absolute value expression, which is NEVER acceptable.

Thus, this equation has NO solutions.
