The Law of Detachment states the following:

If p → q is true, and p is true, then q is true.

An example of this law would be:

statements:

- If it's raining, the floor is wet.

- It's raining.

Conclusion:

- The floor is wet.

In the given problem, we have the statements:

- If x = 3, then 3x - 4 = 5.

- x = 3.

So we can write the conclusion using the law:

- 3x - 4 = 5.

Therefore the correct option is the third one.
