Option 1: –$10$
Option 2: $\frac{9}{8}$
Option 3: $10$
Option 4: $–\frac{9}{8}$
Correct Answer: $10$
Solution : $\frac{x}{2}–\frac{\left [4\left ( \frac{15}{2}-\frac{x}{3} \right ) \right ]}{3} = –\frac{x}{18}$ ⇒ $\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{18} = \frac{\left [ 4\left ( \frac{15}{2}-\frac{x}{3} \right )\right ]}{3}$ ⇒ $\frac{20x}{36} = \frac{30–\frac{4x}{3}}{3}$ ⇒ $\frac{5x}{9} = 10-\frac{4x}{9}$ ⇒ $\frac{5x}{9}+\frac{4x}{9} = 10$ $\therefore x =10$ Hence, the correct answer is $10$.
