|x2+4x+3|=x+1,
Now, the LHS changes at different values of x.
x2+4x+3=(x+3)(x+1)=+ve for x -1 ...(i) while it is -ve for x between -3 and -1 ...(ii)
So, for (i) we have x2+4x+3=x+1 on solving which we get x= -2 or -1 but we cannot take -2 as it is inbetween -3 and -1 i.e. not satisfying range of x set in (i) whereas for (ii) we have -(x2+4x+3)=x+1 on solving which we get x= -4 or -1 but we cannot take -4 as it doesnot lie in the range set in (ii) so our only solution is x=-1.
