The equation given in the question is
- 5|x + 1| = 10
- 5x - 5 = 10
- 5x = 10 + 5
-5x = 15
x = - 3
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.
