Question

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? Step 1 Step 3 Step 5 Solution is correct

Answer 1

Step 1 is the correct answer because to begin solving you must add 1 to both sides of the equation
