(x + 5)/2 + (x - 5)/3 = 25/6 gives A. x = 3 B. x = 4 C. x = 5 D. x = 2

Question

\(\frac{x\,+\,5}{2}+\frac{x\,-\,5}{3}=\frac{25}{6}\) gives

(x + 5)/2 + (x - 5)/3 = 25/6

A. x = 3 

B. x = 4 

C. x = 5 

D. x = 2

Answer 1

\(\frac{x\,+\,5}{2}+\frac{x\,-\,5}{3}=\frac{25}{6}\)

Taking LCM of 2 and 3 = 6

⇒ 5x + 5 = 25 

⇒ x = 4
