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

Ok so now you have two options. Now Look at how they did the equation.

dawnr · Answer

no other match 
if you had -x+5=-3 that would work too

anonymous · Answer
