He table shows the solution to the equation |2x − 5| − 2 = 3:
step 1 |2x − 5| = 3 + 2
step 2 |2x − 5| = 5
step 3 2x − 5 = 5 or 2x − 5 = −5
step 4 2x = 10 or 2x = 0
step 5 x = 5 or x = 0
which is the first incorrect step?
step 3
step 4
step 5
solution is correct

The fence around a quadrilateral-shaped pasture is 3a^2+15a+9 long. three sides of the fence have the following lengths: 5a, 10a-2, a^2-7. what is the length of the fourth side of the fence?

Which of the following is the explicit rule for a geometric sequence defined a recursive formula of a -5a for which the first term is 23?

Determine the common ratio and find the next three terms of the geometric sequence. 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100000, 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100001, 2, a. 3; 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100002, 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100003, 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100004. c. 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100005; 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100006, 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100007, 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100008. b. 3; 6, 18, 54 d. 649-14-02-00-00_files/i0100009. 6, 18, 54 select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d
