To solve the equation, we first need to isolate the variable. We can do this by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
2/5x + 4 - 4 = 1/5 - 4
2/5x = 1/5 - 4
Next, we can simplify the right side:
2/5x = 1/5 - 20/5
2/5x = -19/5
To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5:
5 * (2/5x) = 5 * (-19/5)
2x = -19
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2x/2 = -19/2
x = -19/2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2/5x + 4 = 1/5 is x = -19/2.
