Below are the steps to solve an equation: step 1: |x − 2| 3 = 7 step 2: |x − 2| = 7 − 3 step 3: |x − 2| = 4 which of the following is a correct next step to solve the equation? x 2 = −4 −x − 2 = 4 x 2 = 4 x − 2 = −4

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
