First, I would add 3 to both sides of the equal sign to get a more convenient, equivalent equation:
--> -->
Then I would split the problem into two cases (two equations) and I would solve each equation, getting a total of two solutions.
If , the equation is
If , the equation is or (multiplying both sides of the equal sign times (-1) ),

To solve , I would first subtract 2 from both sides.
Then I would multiply both sides times (-4).
