Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I GIVE MEDALS!!!!!!! :)

Below are the steps to solve an equation:

Step 1: |x - 2| + 3 = 7
Step 2: |x - 2| = 7 - 3
Step 3: |x - 2| = 4

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

x + 2 = -4

-x - 2 = 4

x + 2 = 4

x - 2 = -4

Answer 1

You want to get rid of the absolute values, so to do so, you make another equation. |x - 2| = 4 becomes x - 2 = -4

Answer 2

So you have x - 2 = 4 and x - 2 = -4

Answer 3

so is the answer the last one?

Answer 4

yes
