Answer

$x=-1$

Work Step by Step

The left side of the given equation $ \left| \dfrac{2(x+1)}{3} \right|\le0 ,$ always results to a non negative number. This equation will only be satisfied when the left-side expression is equal to $0$. Hence, the solution to the given equation is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{2(x+1)}{3}=0 \\\\ 2(x+1)=3(0) \\\\ 2x+2=0 \\\\ 2x=-2 \\\\ x=-\dfrac{2}{2} \\\\ x=-1 .\end{array}
