Question 971841
For absolute value problems
Set the equation without brackets = 3, as if they weren't there.

Then set the negative of it = 3.  The negative in absolute value brackets will be 3 once the brackets are removed.

2x+3=3
x=0, 1 solution.

-2x-3=3
-2x=6
x=-3

Check solutions

|3|=3
|-6+3|=|-3| =3
