Answer:
-2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
first you are going to distrubute 2/5, so 2/5 times x is 2/5x and 2/5 times -2 is -4/5
next you set up the problem with those two answers which gives you:
2/5x - 4/5 = 4x
then multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 2x-4=20x
next move the constant to the right side and chnage the sign: 2x=20x+4
then combine like terms: -18x=4
after that divide both sides of the equation by -18: -2/9
so x= -2/9
