An expression that is equal to that question is 5/3 as a fraction or the solution times 3.
The question gives you 4 different numbers that could be x, so you have to replace each x in each problem and solve. If the two answers are equivalent, that is your answer. For the first one, 6 times 2 is 12, minus 2 is 10. 5 times 2 is 10, plus 3 is 13. 10 is not equal to 13, so that is not the answer. For 5, 6 times 5 is 30, minus 2 is 28. 5 times 5 is 25, plus 3 is 28, so therefore the answer is x=5
