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

First add 2 to both sides, next add 2 + 3 to get 5, next break down the equation into two problems which would be 2x - 5 = 5 and -(2x - 5) = 5, NOT 2x - 5 = -5, so this is the FIRST incorrect step, while step 4 is incorrect because its suppose to be 2x = 5 not 10, that's the second step, not first so answer is:

A) Step 3.
