Final answer:

Without the specified equation, we cannot determine which value of x makes it true among the options provided. Students should use appropriate algebraic solving methods such as the quadratic formula, substitution, or elimination, once they identify the actual equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which value of x makes an equation true, we must first know the specific equation we are working with. From the context given, it seems we are referring to an algebraic equation, possibly a quadratic or a linear equation. Unfortunately, the exact equation is not provided in the question, therefore, we cannot definitively identify the solution among the options F) 1, G) 7, or H) -5. In solving for x, we generally need to simplify the algebra by eliminating terms whenever possible and then checking to see if the selected value for x is reasonable.

In essence, if provided with a quadratic equation such as x2 + bx + c = 0, one would typically employ the quadratic formula or factor the equation if possible. On the other hand, for a system of linear equations, methods such as substitution, elimination, or graphing could be used. These methods help us find the value of x that makes the equation or system of equations true.

Without the given equation in the original question, we can only guide the student to the appropriate methods to use once they have identified their particular equation. Thus, we encourage the student to review their notes or textbook for specific details on the equation in question and how to approach the solution.
