To find which equation matches the solution set of {5}, we need to solve each equation for \( x \) to see if \( x = 5 \) is the only solution.

  1. \( 3x / 5 + 4 = 7 \)

    \[ 3x / 5 = 7 - 4 \] \[ 3x / 5 = 3 \] \[ 3x = 15 \] \[ x = 5 \]

  2. \( x^2 - 10 = 15 \)

    \[ x^2 = 15 + 10 \] \[ x^2 = 25 \] \[ x = 5 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -5 \]

    This gives us two solutions, so it does not match the solution set of {5}.

  3. \( 2x - 20 = 30 \)

    \[ 2x = 30 + 20 \] \[ 2x = 50 \] \[ x = 25 \]

    This does not match the solution set of {5}.

  4. \( x + x - 9 = 1 + x \)

    Simplifying this: \[ 2x - 9 = 1 + x \] Subtract \( x \) from both sides: \[ 2x - x - 9 = 1 \] \[ x - 9 = 1 \] \[ x = 10 \]

    This does not match the solution set of {5}.

Based on the calculations, only the equation \( \frac{3x}{5} + 4 = 7 \) has the solution that matches the set {5}.

Final Answer: \( \frac{3x}{5} + 4 = 7 \)
