Correct Answer: $-\frac{3}{5}$


Solution : Given: $\frac{10x}{3}+\frac{5}{2}(2-\frac{x}{3})=\frac{7}{2}$
⇒ $\frac{10x}{3}+(5-\frac{5x}{6})=\frac{7}{2}$
⇒ $\frac{10x}{3}-\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{7}{2}-5$
⇒ $\frac{20x-5x}{6}=\frac{7-10}{2}$
⇒ $\frac{15x}{6}=-\frac{3}{2}$
⇒ $x=-\frac{3}{5}$
Hence, the correct answer is $-\frac{3}{5}$.
