Answer:

B. 3x-2=7

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the equation that has the solution x=3, we substitute x=3 in each option and pick that which is true.

Option A

$\begin{gathered} 6x+6=90 \\ 6(3)+6=90 \\ 24\\eq90 \end{gathered}$

Option B

$\begin{gathered} 3x-2=7 \\ 3(3)-2=7 \\ 9-2=7 \\ 7=7 \end{gathered}$

Since this holds, the correct equation is Option B.
