To determine which equation has the solution x = 2, we'll substitute x = 2 into each equation and see which one results in a true statement.

Option A: 2.8x + 1.6 = 3.4x − 0.2

2.8 × 2 + 1.6 = 3.4 × 2 − 0.2

5.6 + 1.6 = 6.8 − 0.2

7.2 ≠ 6.6

This equation is not true when x = 2.

Option B: 1.3x − 0.7 = 2.6x + 1.5

1.3 × 2 − 0.7 = 2.6 × 2 + 1.5

2.6 − 0.7 = 5.2 + 1.5

1.9 ≠ 6.7

This equation is not true when x = 2.
