To solve the equation 2/5x + 4 = 1/5, we can start by subtracting 4 from both sides:
2/5x + 4 - 4 = 1/5 - 4
This simplifies to:
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)
This gives us:
2x = -19
Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
2x/2 = -19/2
x = -19/2
So the solution to the equation is negative Start Fraction 19 over 2 End Fraction.
