B.

Do we get such easy questions in actual GMAT(even if it is a sub-600 question)?

The GMAT is computer adaptive, so everyone eventually encounters questions that are in line with their skills.

A. -8
B. -7/2
C. -7
D. 10/3
E. 7/5

\(x − 5 = 3x + 2\)

Or, \(2x = −7\)

Or, \(x = \frac{−7}{2}\)

Answer will be (B) \(x = \frac{−7}{2}\)
