Answer: see below

Explanation:

|2x+5|=7

2x+5=±7 ⇔ since the absolutely value of any number is all positive, so the value in side can be either positive or negative

2x+5=7 or 2x+5=-7

2x=2 2x=-12

x=1 or x=-6

----------------------------------------

The product of the two solutions

1 × -6=-6

Hope this helps!! :)
