    They are all integers so ...

    first lets substitute

    A. 3x=13

    X=13/3

    b. 3x+2=13

    3x=11

    x=11/3

    c. 3x+4=13

    3x=9

    x=3

    d. 3x+6=13

    3x=7

    x=7/3

    E. 3x+8=13

    3x=5

    x=5/3

    therefore the possible is letter c because it must be an integer and the definition of integer states that it is not a decimal nor a fraction

    C. 2

    Because

    3x+2 (2) = 13

    3x+4=13

    3x=9

    x=3

    None of the other solutions work out so that both x and y are integers.
