If 2/x + 7/x = 1/3 + 3/15, then the value of x is
A)
6
B)
10
C)
15
D)
30
Given: 2/x + 7/x = 1/3 + 3/15
First combine like terms on the left:
(2 + 7)/x = 9/x
Now simplify the right side:
3/15 = 1/5, so
1/3 + 1/5 = (5 + 3)/15 = 8/15
So the equation becomes:
9/x = 8/15
Cross-multiply:
9 × 15 = 8x
135 = 8x
x = 135/8 = 16.875
This value is not among the given options, so the question/options appear to contain a misprint.
Checking the options:
- a) 6 → 9/6 = 3/2, not 8/15
- b) 10 → 9/10, not 8/15
- c) 15 → 9/15 = 3/5, not 8/15
- d) 30 → 9/30 = 3/10, not 8/15
Therefore, none of the listed options is correct. If forced to choose from the provided set, the correct mathematical result is not present.
