To solve the equation 2/5x + 4 = 1/5, we can start by isolating the variable x on one side. First, subtract 4 from both sides:
2/5x + 4 - 4 = 1/5 - 4
2/5x = 1/5 - 20/5
2/5x = -19/5
Next, to solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5/2:
(5/2)(2/5x) = (5/2)(-19/5)
x = -19/2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -19/2.
