Question

he table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3:Step 1|2x − 5| = 3 + 2Step 2|2x − 5| = 5Step 32x − 5 = 5 or 2x − 5 = −5Step 42x = 10 or 2x = 0Step 5x = 5 or x = 0Which is the first incorrect step?Step 3Step 4Step 5Solution is correct

Answer 1

The table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3:





Step 1|2x − 5| = 3 + 2

Step 2|2x − 5| = 5

Step 32x − 5 = 5 or 2x − 5 = −5

Step 42x = 10 or 2x = 0

Step 5x = 5 or x = 0

Verify

Step 1 -----> correct

Step 2 -----> correct

Step 3 -----> correct

Step 4 ----> correct

Step 5 -----> correct

therefore

The solution is correct
