if i understand you correctly, the problem is:
-----
y = |x+2| - 1
-----
the equation presented was already solved.
there was nothing else that could be done to simplify it further.
not that i could see.
all that was needed to do was plot some points and graph it.
i graphed it as is.
the answer will go negative because the -1 is outside the absolute value symbols. i believe that's what you meant when you showed it.
plot some points yourself from x = -5 to x = 5 to see what's happening.
graph of this equation looks like this:
