What are the solutions to the following absolute value equation? |x+1|-3=5

Answer:
-9 and 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
Either x+1 is positive and then |x+1|=x+1 and the equation becomes x+1-3=5
<=> x=5-1+3=7
Or x+1 is negative and then |x+1|=-x-1 and the equation becomes -x-1-3=5
<=>x=-1-3-5=-9
Thanks
