You have to get rid of the absolute value symbol. Thus making two inequalities:

n-2 _< 5 n+2->5

Then solve for n on both sides (meaning you would add 2 in first inequality and subtract 2 in second inquality. Your answers.....

n_<7 or n_>3

Answer 2

n - 2 <= 5 and n - 2 >= -5

n <= 7 and n >= -3

My answer is correct, by the way:
