Answer:
x = - [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
given the equation
[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex](x - 2) = 4x
multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate the fraction
2(x - 2) = 20x
2x - 4 = 20x ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- 4 = 18x ( divide both sides by 18 )
x = - [tex]\frac{4}{18}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
