Solve for x: 3(1 - x) = 7

The correct answer is: 5

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. In this equation, we can distribute the 3 to the parentheses, giving us 3 - 3x = 7. Then, we can subtract 3 from both sides to get -3x = 4. Finally, we can divide both sides by -3 to get x = -4/3. Option A is incorrect because it does not account for the 3 being distributed to the parentheses. Option B is incorrect because it does not account for the -x term being created when distributing the 3. Option C is incorrect because it does not account for the -x term and the 3 being distributed to the parentheses. Option D is correct as explained above.
