Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 2) equal to 4 and -4.

Subproblem 1

x + 2 = 4 Simplifying x + 2 = 4 Reorder the terms: 2 + x = 4 Solving 2 + x = 4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + x = 4 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + x = 4 + -2 x = 4 + -2 Combine like terms: 4 + -2 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Subproblem 2

x + 2 = -4 Simplifying x + 2 = -4 Reorder the terms: 2 + x = -4 Solving 2 + x = -4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + x = -4 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + x = -4 + -2 x = -4 + -2 Combine like terms: -4 + -2 = -6 x = -6 Simplifying x = -6

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2, -6}
