Step-by-step explanation:

|x|-2=7 -------equation 1

/x/ = 5+2

|x| = 7

x = +- 7

check:

put x =-7 in equation one

|-7|-2 = 5

7-2=5

5=5

hence correct

not put x= 7 in eq 1

|7| - 2 = 5

7-2 = 5

5= 5

just remember that when we take a variables absolute value so we must keep plus minus sign on other side whereas if we take absolute value of constant then its always positive.
