2|z+1| - 3 =  z - 2         add 3 to both sides

 

2 lz + 1 l   =  z  + 1      divide both sides by 2

 

l z + 1 l   =     [ z + 1 ]  / 2         we have two equations

 

z + 1 =   [z + 1] / 2        there is no solution to this

 

or

 

-[z + 1]  = [z + 1] / 2   simplify

 

-z - 1  = [z + 1 ] /2       multiply both sides by 2

 

-2z - 2   = z + 1          add 2z to both sides, subtract 1 from both sides

 

-3  = 3z          divide both sides by 3

 

-1  = z
