2|x-3|+5=3
2|x-3|=3-5
2|x-3|=-2
|x-3|=-2/2
|x-3|=-1
Since the absolute value of any number is NEVER negative, this means that there are NO solutions.

------
2|x-3|+5=3
Get the x on one side, same as always.
2|x-3| = -2
|x-3| = -1
------
There's no solution for x.
The Abs value cannot be negative.

2|x-3|+5=3
2|x-3|=3-5
2|x-3|=-2
|x-3|=-2/2
|x-3|=-1
Therefore
x-3= -1 or -(x-3)=-1
x=-1+3 or -x=-1-3
x=2 or x=4
