Answer 1

To solve the equation 4x - 3/5 = 2/5, you need to isolate the variable x.

First, you can add 3/5 to both sides of the equation:
4x - 3/5 + 3/5 = 2/5 + 3/5
4x = 5/5

Next, simplify the equation:
4x = 1

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 1/4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1/4.
