The 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?
a) step 3
b) step 4
c) step 5
d) solution is correct

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
