The table shows the solution to the equation |2x - 3| -1 = 2:
Step 1
|2x - 3|= 2 + 1
Step 2
|2x - 3|= 3
Step 3
2x - 3= 3 or 2x + 3 = 3
Step 4
2x = 6 or 2x = 0
Step 5
x = 3 or x = 0
Which is the first incorrect step?

Respuesta :

The first incorrect step is step 2 because this step did not take the two signs positive and negative.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have a linear equation in a mod function;

|2x - 3| - 1 = 2

Step 1:

|2x - 3| = 3

Step 2:

2x - 3 = 3 or 2x - 3 = -3

(after removing mod, we get two same values but opposite in sign)

The first incorrect step is step 2 in which did not take the two sign,

2x - 3= 3 or 2x + 3 = 3   (wrong)

Thus, the first incorrect step is step 2 because this step did not take the two signs positive and negative.
