D. x + 4 = 7 The next step, after subtracting 1 from 8, which equals 7, is to turn your attention to the absolute value, turn everything into a positive within those lines. since x - 4, the negative subtracting the 4 should be turned positive, so it should now be x + 4 = 7.
<span>A correct next step to solve the equation is x – 4 = -7. The
correct answer between all the choices given is letter A. I am hoping that this
answer has satisfied your query about this specific question. Have a nice day.</span>
