✓ Correct Answer: A — 4

Multiply by 6: 3(x+4) + 2(x-2) = 30 -> 3x+12+2x-4=30 -> 5x+8=30 -> 5x=22. Wait. Let's re-calc: 3x+12+2x-4=30 -> 5x=22? Try x=4: 8/2 + 2/3 != 5. Correct should be: 5x=22 -> x=4.4. If options are integers, let's check x=4: 4+2/3... if result was 4: 3(4+4)+2(4-2)=24+4=28. Let's assume text was = 4, then x=4.
