Answer C

Rather than solving for x, we exploit the structural relationship between the given equation and the requested expression. Let x denote the unknown quantity. The given condition is that 3x + 7 = 22. Subtracting 7 from both sides yields 3x = 15. Since 6x + 5 = 2(3x) + 5, we substitute the value of 3x directly: 2(15) + 5 = 30 + 5 = 35. The value of x is never needed individually.

The correct answer is C.

Inspect the mistake

In the example above, choosing 30 drops the final +5. The question's explanation identifies that exact trap.

Founder's experience

Adam Zakarian

Adam's preparation moved from a 565 official-practice baseline in April 2025 to a 735 official GMAT Focus result in December 2025. That experience informed this platform's emphasis on structured study and mistake review.
