1. 
Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle \frac{2x - 3}{4} + \frac{3x + 1}{2} = \frac{5x - 1}{6}$

2. 
Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{x-2} + \frac{2}{x+3} = \frac{3}{x^2 + x - 6}$

3. 
Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle |2x - 5| = 7$

4. 
Solve for $x: \\ 3(2x−4)−2(3x+1) = 4(x−5)$

5. 
Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle \frac{3x+2}{5} - \frac{2x−1}{3} = \frac{x+4}{15}$

6. 
Solve for $x$ and $y$: $\begin{cases} 3x + 4y = 10 \\ 5x - 2y = 8 \end{cases} $

7. 
Solve for $x$ and $y$: $\large \begin{cases} \frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 4 \\ \frac{x}{3} - \frac{y}{2} = 1 \end{cases}$

8. 
Solve for $x$ and $y$: $\begin{cases} 2x+5y=12 \\ 4x+10y = 24 \end{cases}$

9. 
A boat travels 60 km downstream in 3 hours and takes 5 hours to travel the same distance upstream. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.

10. 
A rectangle has a perimeter of 40 cm. If the length is reduced by 2 cm and the width is increased by 2 cm, the area of the rectangle increases by 4 cm$^2$. Find the original dimensions of the rectangle.

11. 
A shopkeeper sells two types of pens. Type A costs 5 each and Type B costs 8 each. If the shopkeeper sells 50 pens for a total of $340, how many pens of each type were sold?
