Then, we can divide both sides by 3 to isolate x, resulting in the answer of x = 7/3 or 2.33. Option B 3 is incorrect because it does not take into account the -2 that needs to be added to get x by itself. Option C: 0 is incorrect because it does not take into account the -2 that needs to be added to get x by itself, and dividing by 3 would result in 0. Option D: 2 is incorrect because it does not account for the -2 that needs to be added to get x by itself on one side of the equation, and dividing 5
