Defining means removing mod

As |f(x)|=\left\{\begin{array}{l} f(x), f(x) \geqslant 0 \\ -f(x), f(x)<0 \end{array}\right.

So,

\begin{aligned} |x+2| &=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x+2, & x+2 \geqslant 0 \\ -(x+2), & x+2<0 \end{array}\right.\\ &=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x+2, & x \geqslant-2 \\ -x-2, & x<-2 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}
