Answer:

-1/2 or -5/2

Explanation:

| | means the absolute value (distance from 0), so there is going to be a positive case and a negative case (distance from the negatives and distance from the positives).

POSITIVE CASE


2x+3=2\\2x=-1\\x=-(1)/(2)

NEGATIVE CASE


-(2x+3)=2\\-2x-3=2\\-2x=5\\x=-(5)/(2)

So, your answer would be -1/2 or -5/2.
