Practicing Success
If $\frac{x}{2}-\frac{4\left(\frac{15}{2}-\frac{x}{3}\right)}{3}=-\frac{x}{18}$, then the value of x is: |
-10 $\frac{9}{8}$ 10 $-\frac{9}{8}$ |
10 |
$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{4\left(\frac{15}{2}-\frac{x}{3}\right)}{3}=-\frac{x}{18}$ \(\frac{x}{2}\) - \(\frac{ 4 ( 45 - 2x ) }{18}\) = -\(\frac{x}{18}\) \(\frac{x}{2}\) - \(\frac{ 2 ( 45 - 2x ) }{9}\) = -\(\frac{x}{18}\) \(\frac{ 9x - 4 ( 45 - 2x ) }{18}\) = -\(\frac{x}{18}\) 9x - 180 + 8x = -x 18x = 180 x = 10 The correct answer is Option (3) → 10 |
