Question

|b+2|+6=3

Can you tell me in very not-smart terms how to solve it?

Answer 1

Answer: No solutions

Reason:

Subtract 6 from both sides to end up with |b+2| = -3

The right hand side is negative, but the left side can never be negative. The absolute value represents distance. Negative distance isn't possible. Therefore, the equation has no solutions.
