Answer:

D. x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE : there should be an equal sign somewhere in the given expression.

suppose the equation is the following:

3(x-4)-5 = x-3

………………………………………………………

3(x - 4) - 5 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 12 - 5 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 17 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 17 + 17= x - 3 + 17

⇔ 3x = x + 14

⇔ 2x = 14

⇔ x = 14/2

⇔ x = 7
