Question: 1 / 400

If 2x – 5 = 3, what is the value of x?

-2

0

2

Because when 2 is multiplied by x and 5 is subtracted from the product, it equals 3, which can be solved by adding 5 to both sides resulting in 2x = 8 and then dividing both sides by 2, making x = 4.

Option A (-2) is incorrect because -2x - 5 would result in -3, not 3.

Option B (0) is incorrect because 0x - 5 = -5, not 3.

Option D (8) is incorrect because 8x - 5 = 11, not 3.

Therefore, the correct option is C (2).
