Question
![The image presents a mathematical expression followed by several multiple-choice solutions. The expression and choices focus on algebraic fractions.
**Expression:**
\[
\frac{x}{20} - \frac{3x}{5} + \frac{x+2}{2} - \frac{3x-3}{10}
\]
**Multiple-Choice Solutions:**
1. \(\bigcirc \quad \frac{20x}{20} + \frac{7}{10}\)
2. \(\bigcirc \quad -\frac{3x}{4} + \frac{29}{10}\)
3. \(\bigcirc \quad -\frac{7x}{20} + \frac{13}{10}\)
4. \(\bigcirc \quad -\frac{4x}{20} + \frac{1}{10}\)
5. \(\bigcirc \quad -\frac{10x}{31} + \frac{9}{5}\)
Each choice consists of a combination of terms involving \(x\) and constants. The task is to simplify the given expression and determine which of the options matches the simplified form.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F360869e9-2188-494b-bf1d-c1b6608f393f%2F1ac48a27-f769-467f-b225-756e4f4cfbbe%2F4guupv_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
