The answer is D, 6 because when you add 2x to both sides to negate the 2x on the left, you are left with 3 = 3x - 15. you then want to add 15 to both sides to negate the 15 on the right. you are left with 18 = 3x. divide by 3 and you are left with x = 6
These fractions both have the same denominators so we can add them without having the equate them first.
The only thing you have to do is add the numerators (7 and 5), and keep the denominators the same.
