Correct Answer: B

Choice Choice B is the correct answer.

  1. Subtract 2x: 5=35 = 3
  2. Analyze: This is a contradiction (FALSE statement).
  3. Conclusion: There is no value of xx that makes this true.

Choice Choice C is incorrect because substituting 00 gives 5=35=3, which is false.

Choice Choice D is incorrect because this is not an identity.

Choice Choice B is incorrect because substituting 22 gives 9=79=7, which is false.
