An easy way to do this is to plug in your answer choices in the correct variable places.

A - 1,5 so 3 (5) -2 = 13 // 8 (1) + 5 = 13
Therefore does 13 = 13? Yes

B. 3,9 so 3 (9) -2 = 25 // 8 (3) + 5 = 29
Therefore does 25 = 29? NO, so choice B is out

C.-4,9 so 3 (9) -2 = 25 // 8 (-4) + 5 = -27
Does 25 = -27? NO, so C is out

D. -2,3 so 3 (3 )-2 = 7 // 8 (-2) + 5 = -11
Does 7 = -11? NO, so D is out
