\frac{2}{5}x = 4 + \frac{3}{5}x
2x = 4\cdot5 + 3x
2x = \square + 3x

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply 4 and 5

$4 \cdot 5 = 20$

Step2: Substitute product into equation

$2x = 20 + 3x$

Step3: Isolate x terms (subtract 3x)

$2x - 3x = 20$
$-x = 20$

Step4: Solve for x (multiply by -1)

$x = -20$

Answer:

$x = -20$
