⇒This problem is an absolute value problem where in we know that whatever is in the absolute signs always will come out positive

⇒If we are to check carefully 10 is the product of -5 and a positive number |x+1| so it is NOT possible anywhere in MATHEMATICS that when you multiply a negative number by a positive number it is going to give you a positive number, There is no solution for this question since the product of a negative number and a positive number is negative the given equation cannot be solved.

GOODLUCK!!!!
