  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. 5

The correct answer is: 3

In this case, we can do so by adding 7 to both sides of the equation, giving us 6x = 18. Then, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 6, giving us x = 3. This makes option B the correct answer. Option A (2) is incorrect because 6x - 7 = 11, and adding 7 to both sides would give us 6x = 18, not 14. Option C (4) is incorrect because dividing both sides of 6x - 7 = 11 by 6 would give us x = 18/6 = 3, not 4. Option D (5) is incorrect because
