Answer: B) The result is a prime number

==================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace x with 5. Then use PEMDAS to simplify.

7x+6

7*5+6

35+6

41

The expression 7x+6 is equal to 41 when x = 5.

The value 41 is prime because its factors are only 1 and 41.
