Question

The table shows the solution to the equation |2x - 4| - 3 = 3:

Step 1 |2x - 4| = -3 + 3
Step 2 |2x - 4| = 0
Step 3 2x - 4 = 0
Step 4 2x = 4
Step 5 x = 2


Which is the first incorrect step?

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Answer 1

Step 1

Explanation:

Took the test

Answer 2

we are given the steps that are laid to determine the value of x in the expression |2x -4| - 3 =  3. First step is to add 3 to both sides, then simplify, then determine x. The first incorrect step is step 1 since we add not subtract.
