First what you have to do is convert 2/5 and 1/10 to equal fractions

2/5 = 4/10

4x+4=\10=1/10

Next subtract 4/10 on both sides

4x = 3/10

Then divide both sides by 4

Answer 2

5x+2/5=x-1/10

Convert 2/5 and -1/10 to equal fractions.

2/5= 4/10

5x+4/10= x-1/10

Subtract x on both sides.

4x+4/10= 1/10

Subtract 4/10 on both sides. 

4x=-3/10

Divide both sides by 4. 

x=-0.075
