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?

C. x - 5= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: |x - 5| +2-2 =5-2

Step 2: |x - 5| = 5-2

Step 3: |x - 5| = 3

Step 4: x - 5 = -3

Step 5: x - 5+5 = -3+5

x = 2

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

a. the are of the rectangle is 18.25

b. 18.25 times two is 36.50
