Solution

The correct option is C 3
In the given equation,
LHS = 12x + 9
RHS = 13

Using trial and error method,

Case 1:

putting x = 1,
LHS = 121 + 9 = 12 + 9 = 21
Hence, LHS is not equal to RHS.

Case 2:

putting x = 2,
LHS = 122 + 9 = 6 + 9 = 15
Hence, LHS is not equal to RHS.

Case 3:

putting x = 3,
LHS = 123 + 9 = 4 + 9 = 13
Hence, LHS is equal to RHS.

x = 3 satisfies the given equation.
