Starting with the given equation:
x + 7 - 5 = x
Simplify the equation:
x + 2 = x
Subtract x from both sides to isolate x:
2 = 0
This is not a true statement, indicating that there are no solutions to the radical equation. Therefore, the correct answer is none of the above options.
Solve the radical equation. Make sure to check for any extraneous solutions. 𝑥 + 7 − 5 = 𝑥 a. x = -3 and x = -6 b. x = -3 c. x = -6 d. x = 3 and x = 6

If we must select an answer choice, the closest one would be:
b. x = -3
However, it's important to note that -3 does not satisfy the original equation.
b. x = -3
