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?
x + 2 = −4 −x − 2 = 4 x + 2 = 4 x − 2 = −4

Answer 1

the correct ones would be
x-2=4
x-2=-4
we only have x-2=-4 here on the answers so the last one is correct
