Solution

The correct option is D
$5.5$

Lets solve the equation first:
$6 (x - 3) = 4 x - 7$
Open the parentheses on the LHS of the equation
$6 x - 18 = 4 x - 7$
Transfer the variables to the LHS of the equation and constant to the RHS of the equation
$6 x - 4 x = - 7 + 18 2 x = 11 x = 5.5$
Hence, The correct option is $D$
