Question

Below are the steps to solve an equation:

Step 1: |x – 5| + 2 = 5
Step 2: |x – 5| = 5 – 2
Step 3: |x – 5| = 3

Which of the following is a correct next step to solve the equation?

x + 5 = -3

-x – 5 = 3

x - 5 = -3

x + 5 = 3

Answer 1

i sowwy idk

Answer 2

its alrighttt

Answer 3

\(\bf |x - 5| + 2 = 5\implies |x - 5|=5-2\implies |x - 5|=3\\ \quad \\
|x - 5|=3\implies
\begin{cases}
+(x - 5)=3\\ \quad \\
\bf -(x - 5)=3
\end{cases}\)

Answer 4

absolute value expressions will give you 2 values, one for each scenario, for "x"
so solve each linear equation for "x" to get both values

Answer 5

i would solve each linear equation for x to get the values if i knew what it was can you please give me the answer
