Question

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?

Answer 1

x + 2 = -4

-x - 2 = 4

x + 2 = 4

x - 2 = -4

Answer 2

@ParthKohli please help:)

Answer 3

If \(|x| = a \), then \(x = a ~\text{or}~-a\)

Answer 4

i dont understand @ParthKohli

Answer 5

Hmm ... for example, if \(|y| = 4\), then \(y\) is either 4 or -4.

Answer 6

-x - 2 = 4
i got this @ParthKohli
