Answer
Multiple Choice Answers
6x−9=75
8x−7=−33
5x+6=54
5x+7=32

Answer 1

To find which equation has the solution \( x = 5 \), we can plug \( x = 5 \) into each equation and see which one holds true.

1. **Equation:** \( 6x - 9 = 75 \)
\[
6(5) - 9 = 30 - 9 = 21 \quad (\text{not equal to 75})
\]

2. **Equation:** \( 8x - 7 = -33 \)
\[
8(5) - 7 = 40 - 7 = 33 \quad (\text{not equal to -33})
\]

3. **Equation:** \( 5x + 6 = 54 \)
\[
5(5) + 6 = 25 + 6 = 31 \quad (\text{not equal to 54})
\]

4. **Equation:** \( 5x + 7 = 32 \)
\[
5(5) + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32 \quad (\text{equal to 32})
\]

Thus, the equation that has the solution \( x = 5 \) is **\( 5x + 7 = 32 \)**.
