Solution

The correct option is A $- 2$
$3 (x - 3) = 5 (2 x + 1)$
$\Rightarrow$ $3 x - 9 = 10 x + 5$
$\Rightarrow$ $3 x - 10 x = 5 + 9$
$\Rightarrow$ $- 7 x = 14$
$\Rightarrow$ $- x = \frac{14}{7}$
$\Rightarrow$ $x = - 2$

(3 x - 2) = \frac{4}{5} (2 x - 3) + \frac{86}{15}

\frac{1}{3} (x - \frac{1}{2}) + \frac{1}{5} (2 x + \frac{1}{4}) = \frac{3}{4} (x - \frac{1}{12})

\frac{1}{3} (x - \frac{1}{2}) + \frac{1}{5} (2 x + \frac{1}{4}) = \frac{3}{4} (x - \frac{1}{12})
