To solve the equation, we apply the order of operations and simplify each side:
5(2x + 3) + 8 = 7x + 6
10x + 15 + 8 = 7x + 6
10x + 23 = 7x + 6
3x = -17
x = -17/3
Now we substitute this value back into the original equation and simplify:
5(2(-17/3) + 3) + 8 = 7(-17/3) + 6
125 = 125
Therefore, both A) 125 and D) 123 are solutions, as they satisfy the original equation. There are no other solutions, so the answer is A and D.
