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

is it d

yes, it is, though I would have written it

-(x-2) = 4 (why might that be?)

Extra credit. What is a different correct step (not shown)?
You gotta put the 7 in the spot were in fits bruh
