Let's solve both questions one at a time.

### Question 1:
The equation is \( \frac{1}{2} |x + 2| = 10 \).

#### Steps:
1. Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
   \[
   |x + 2| = 20
   \]
2. To solve for \(x\), recall that the absolute value equation \( |A| = B \) leads to two possible equations:
   \[
   x + 2 = 20 \quad \text{or} \quad x + 2 = -20
   \]
3. Solve each:
   - For \( x + 2 = 20 \):
     \[
     x = 18
     \]
   - For \( x + 2 = -20 \):
     \[
     x = -22
     \]

Thus, the solutions are \(x = 18\) and \(x = -22\).

**Answer:** The correct choices are A (x = -22) and F (x = 18).

### Question 2:
The equation is \( \frac{1}{3} |2x - 5| + 1 = -1 \).

#### Steps:
1. Subtract 1 from both sides:
   \[
   \frac{1}{3} |2x - 5| = -2
   \]
2. Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
   \[
   |2x - 5| = -6
   \]
3. Notice that an absolute value expression cannot be negative. Therefore, there are **no solutions** to this equation.

**Answer:** The correct choice is F (No Solutions).
