Solution

The correct option is C $x = 10$

$5 x - 2 x = 18 + 12$
$3 x = 30$
$x = 10$

- (x - 5) + 5 (x - 9) = 2 (x + 8) - (2 x + 5)

5 x - 11 = 2 x + 7

3 (x - 8) - 2 (x - 5) = 2 - 5 x

2 (3 x + 1) - 7 = 2 (6 x - 7)

Solve for x:

\frac{2 x}{3} + \frac{10}{11} = \frac{18}{11}

\frac{2 x - 13}{5} - \frac{x - 3}{11} = \frac{x - 9}{5} + 1
