Just adding this to the public record. This exact problem was also asked on AskMath over at Reddithttps://www.reddit.com/r/askmath/comments/6t2oey/algebra_question_multiple_choice_solve_for_x/ (possibly by the OP? possibly by a classmate? The usernames are different). There are currently no answers there, but it's worth keeping an eye on to see what, if anything, comes of it.
