Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
To determine whether x=2 is a solution, we substitute the value x=2 into the equation and simplify:
2 + 8 = 3(2)
10 = 6
This is a false statement, so x=2 is not a solution to the equation. Therefore, the answer is B.
2 + 8 = 3(2)
10 = 6
This is a false statement, so x=2 is not a solution to the equation. Therefore, the answer is B.
