What is the solution of 3x+2=5?

  1. 9

  2. 4

  3. 1

  4. 0

The correct answer is: 4

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable by getting rid of the constant on the same side. We can achieve this by subtracting 2 from both sides, resulting in 3x=3. Then, we divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x, which is 1. Therefore, option C is the correct solution. Option A is incorrect because 9 does not satisfy the equation 3x+2=5. Option D is incorrect because 0 also does not satisfy the equation 3x+2=5.
