MCQ
If $\frac{\text{x}+2}{\text{x}-2}=\frac{2}{3},$ then $x =$
  • $-10$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $\frac43$
  • D
    $-\frac43$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-10$

As, $\frac{\text{x}+2}{\text{x}-2}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow3(\text{x}+2)=2(\text{x}-2)$ (By cross multiplication)
$\Rightarrow\text{3x}+6=2\text{x}-4$
$\Rightarrow\text{3x}-\text{2x}=-6+4 ($By transposing $2x$ to $L.H.S.$ and $6$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\therefore\text{x}=-10$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(a).$
