Answer

All real numbers are solutions. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow |n+2|-3\geq -6$ Add $3$ to each side. $\Rightarrow |n+2|-3+3\geq -6+3$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow |n+2|\geq -3$ The absolute value of an expression must be greater than or equal to zero. The expression $|n+2|$ will always be greater than $-3$. Hence, all real numbers are solutions.
