Giving Medals ((&)) A Fan

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?


A) x + 2 = -4

B) -x - 2 = 4

C) x + 2 = 4

D) x - 2 = -4

Answer 1

have you learned about absolute values?

Answer 2

yeah but algebra is not my strongest area

Answer 3

D

Answer 4

Thats okay :))
To clear the absolute-value bars, I must split the equation into its two possible two cases, one case for each sign.

Answer 5

So in this case your answer would be C, I think

Answer 6

x-2=4 or x-2=-4 solve

Answer 7

Thx @tHe_FiZiCx99 how @Melodysim

Answer 8

Yw

Answer 9

No it would be D

Answer 10

I said you have to split the equation into its two possible two cases, one case for each sign.

Read it and try other questions

Answer 13

The the two outcomes should be x-2=4 OR x-2=-4

Answer 14

So that would make it D ?

Answer 15

YES the answer is D

Answer 16

Wait lol I said C? sorry for the type o wow lmao

Answer 17

It is D sorry about that :(

Answer 19

yeah but a medal would be appreciated

Answer 20

A) 0

B)6

C)All real numbers

D)No solution

and ok how do you give a medal ?

Answer 21

just click best response on me

Answer 22

Okay

Answer 23

Now can you help me with the question ? @HELP!!!!

Answer 24
