Answer:
x=-2/9 or
x = negative 2 over 9
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve:
[tex]\frac{2}{5}(x-2)=4x[/tex]
and find the value of x.
Solving:
[tex]\frac{2}{5}(x-2)=4x\\\frac{2x}{5}-\frac{4}{5}=4x\\ Adding \,\,4/5\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides\\\frac{2x}{5}-\frac{4}{5}+\frac{4}{5}=4x+\frac{4}{5}\\\frac{2x}{5}=4x+\frac{4}{5}\\subtract \,\,4x\,\,from both sides\\\frac{2x}{5}-4x=\frac{4}{5}\\\frac{2x-20x}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\\\frac{-18x}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\\-18x=\frac{4}{5}*5\\-18x=4\\x=\frac{4}{-18}\\x=\frac{-2}{9}[/tex]
x=-2/9 or
x = negative 2 over 9
