Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (2x + 2) - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (3x - 1) = 15

multiply through by 4 ( the LCM of 2 and 4 ) to clear the fractions

2(2x + 2) - (3x - 1) = 60 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

4x + 4 - 3x + 1 = 60

x + 5 = 60 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 55
