If x - 2/4 - x - 3/5, the value of x is: 1. -42 2. 42 3. -18 4. 18

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Since L.C.M. of denominators 4 and 5 = 20, multiply each term by 20 to get: ⇒ ⇒ 5(x - 2) - 4(x - 3) = 20 ⇒ 5x - 10 - 4x + 12 = 20 ⇒ x + 2 = 20 ⇒ x = 20 - 2 ⇒ x = 18 Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
