Answer:

Option B: x = 15 is a solution, but x = 9 is not is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given equation is:

x - 3 = 12

The solutions we have to check are;

x = 9 and x = 15

Putting x = 9 in the given equation;

9 - 3 = 12

6 ≠ 12

Putting x = 15 in the given equation;

15 - 3 = 12

12 = 12

Hence,

Option B: x = 15 is a solution, but x = 9 is not is the correct answer.
