Hey there!

Let's solve all these equations.

The first equation:

x+7=12

subtract 7 from both sides:

x=5

not 15 ;)

The second equation:

15+x=10

subtract 15 from both sides:

x=-5

not 15 ;)

13+x=38

subtract 13 from both sides:

x=38-13

x=25

not 15 ;)

let's try the last option (it has to work)

x+24=39

subtract 24 from both sides:

x=15

Yep!

Hence,


\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Option~D~is~correct.}}}

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
