Explanation:

We are given that an equation


4x-3=2x+5

The replacement set ={2,3,4,5}

We have to find the solution of given equation.


4x-3=2x+5


4x-2x-3=5

Using subtraction property of equality


2x-3=5

Combine like terms


2x=5+3

Subtraction property of equality


2x=8

Addition property of integers.


x=(8)/(2)=4

Division property of equality

Hcene, the solution of given equation is given by

x=4

Therefore, option C is true.
