    If\[\frac{x+1}{x-1}+\frac{x+2}{x-2}=\frac{22x+30}{11x-18}\], find the value of\[x\].

    A) \[-16\]                           

    B) \[-6\]  

    C) \[6\]                 

    D)        \[8\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                \[\frac{x+1}{x-1}+\frac{x+2}{x-2}=\frac{22x+30}{11x-18}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{x+1}{x-1}-1+\frac{x+2}{x-2}-1=\frac{22x+30}{11x-18}-2\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{x+1-x+1}{x-1}+\frac{x+2-x+2}{x-2}\]             \[\frac{22x+30-22x+36}{11x-18}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{2}{x-1}+\frac{4}{x-2}=\frac{66}{11x-18}\]             \[\frac{2(x-2)+4(x-1)}{(x-1)(x-2)}=\frac{66}{11x-18}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(6x-8)(11x-18)\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[66({{x}^{2}}-3x+2)\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[66{{x}^{2}}-196x+144\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[66{{x}^{2}}-198x+132\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[198x-196x=132-144\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2x=-12\] \[\therefore \]      \[x=-6\]
