$-5=g$ or $-1=g$

$2=|g+3|\longrightarrow$ definition of absolute value $-2=g+3$ or $2=g+3\longrightarrow$ solve each equation $-2=g+3\longrightarrow$ subtract 3 from each side $-2-3=g+3-3\longrightarrow$ subtract $-5=g$ OR $2=g+3\longrightarrow$ subtract 3 from each side $2-3=g+3-3\longrightarrow$ subtract $-1=g$
