Official solution When x = 3 x=3 x = 3 , 2 x = 2 × 3 = 6 3 x − 1 = 3 × 3 − 1 = 8 x + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8 7 − x = 7 − 3 = 4 6 + 2 x = 6 + 2 × 3 = 12 \begin{align*}
2x&=2\times3=6\\ 3x-1&=3\times3-1=8\\ x+5&=3+5=8\\ 7-x&=7-3=4\\ 6+2x&=6+2\times3=12
\end{align*} 2 x 3 x − 1 x + 5 7 − x 6 + 2 x = 2 × 3 = 6 = 3 × 3 − 1 = 8 = 3 + 5 = 8 = 7 − 3 = 4 = 6 + 2 × 3 = 12 Of the given answers, 3 x − 1 = 8 3x-1=8 3 x − 1 = 8 is the only one of the given equations which is true when x = 3 x=3 x = 3 .
