Correct Answer: $10$


Solution : $\frac{x}{2}–\frac{\left [4\left ( \frac{15}{2}-\frac{x}{3} \right ) \right ]}{3} = –\frac{x}{18}$
⇒ $\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{18} = \frac{\left [ 4\left ( \frac{15}{2}-\frac{x}{3} \right )\right ]}{3}$
⇒ $\frac{20x}{36} = \frac{30–\frac{4x}{3}}{3}$
⇒ $\frac{5x}{9} = 10-\frac{4x}{9}$
⇒ $\frac{5x}{9}+\frac{4x}{9} = 10$
$\therefore x =10$
Hence, the correct answer is $10$.
