What is the solution set for 7x−3=18 , given the replacement set {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} ? a. x = 0 b. x = 2 c. x = 3 d. x = 4

Move all terms that don't contain x to the right side and solve.
x = 3

Solve for x using inverse operations
Add 3
7x-3+3=18+3
7x=21
Divide 7
7x/7=21/7
x=3
To check-
7(3)-3=18
21-3=18
18=18
The answer is C because it is the solution.

Answerthe simplified expression isexplanationthe given expression is,let us deal with the bracket first.the two negatives in the parenthesis will become positive.the expression now becomes,we now expand the parenthesis to get,we group like terms to obtain,this simplifies to,
