    \(A=\dfrac{2x-5}{x+2}=\dfrac{2x+4-9}{x+2}=\dfrac{2x+4}{x+2}-\dfrac{9}{x+2}\)

    Because \(\dfrac{2x+4}{x+2}\) is an integer

    => \(\dfrac{9}{x+2}\) must be an integer.

    => \(x+2\in GCD\left(9\right)\)

    => \(x+2\in\left\{\pm1,\pm3,\pm9\right\}\)

    => \(x\in\left\{-1,-3,1,-5,7,-11\right\}\)

    => \(x\in\left\{\pm1,-3,-5,7,-11\right\}\)

    Lê Quốc Trần Anh,you should write \(x+2\in D\left(9\right)\),not \(x+2\in GCD\left(9\right)\)

    A = 2 x - 5 x + 2= 2 x + 4 - 9 x + 2= 2 x + 4 x + 2- 9 x + 2A=2X-5X+2=2X+4-9X+2=2X+4X+2-9X+2

    2 x + 4 x + 22X+4X+2

    9 x + 29X+2

    X + 2 ∈ G C D ( 9 )X+2∈GCD(9)

    X + 2 ∈ { ± 1 , ± 3 , ± 9 }X+2∈{±1,±3,±9}

    X ∈ { - 1 , - 3 , 1 , - 5 , 7 , - 11 }X∈{-1,-3,1,-5,7,-11}

    X ∈ { ± 1 , - 3 , - 5 , 7 , - 11 }

    \(A=\dfrac{2x-5}{x+2}=\dfrac{2x+4-9}{x+2}=\dfrac{2x+4}{x+2}-\dfrac{9}{x+2}\)

    Because \(\dfrac{2x+4}{x+2}\) is an integer

    => \(\dfrac{9}{x+2}\) must be an integer
