Question

Solve for x: 2 over 5 (x − 4) = 2x. (1 point)

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\frac{2}{5}(x-4)=2x$

Solve for x

Multiply by 5 both sides

$2(x-4)=10x$

Divide by 2 both sides

$x-4=5x$

Subtract x both sides

$x-4-x=5x-x$

$-4=4x$

Divide by 4 both sides

$x=-1$
