Answer

Option B is correct.

If the price of one box of apples is x

2x + 5 = 3x represents

The price of two boxes of apples and a $5 drink equals the price of three boxes of apples.

Step-by-step explanation

If the price of one box of apples is x

The price of two boxes of apples = 2x

The price of three boxes of apples = 3x

So, the price of two boxes of apples and a $5 drink = 2x + 5

And if that is equal to three boxes of apples,

2x + 5 = 3x

Hope this Helps!!!
