Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve for $x$, divide both sides of the equation by 3: $x = \frac{25}{3} \approx 8.333$. However, the correct approximation given in the choices is $2.930$, which seems to be a mistake in my initial calculation. The correct calculation should indeed result in $x \approx 8.333$, but since that's not an option and based on the choices provided, $2.930$ is mistakenly selected. The correct approach confirms there's a discrepancy in the provided solution process.
