Question

solve the equation.
\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{6}{5} = \frac{2}{5}

x = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract $\frac{6}{5}$ from both sides

$\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{6}{5} - \frac{6}{5} = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{6}{5}$
$\frac{4}{5}x = \frac{2-6}{5}$
$\frac{4}{5}x = -\frac{4}{5}$

Step2: Multiply by $\frac{5}{4}$ to solve for $x$

$x = -\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{4}$

Answer:

$-1$
