The equation given in the question is
(5x + 2)/2 = 2x - 1
5x + 2 = 2(2x - 1)
5x + 2 = 4x - 2
5x - 4x = - 2 - 2
x = -4
So the value of the unknown variable comes out to be -4. Yes your calculation is correct it seems from the answer that you have given. I hope i have been able to help you in this regard.Only be careful about the cross multiplication part.

Help me out please thank you

Well first you find the common denominatior of 1/7 and 4/9 which is 63 so then you see how many times does 7 go into 63 so this is part where you multiply 7 and 9 which gives you 63 and then you do how many times 9 go into 63 which is 7 so then you will take 7 times the 4 which is 28 so now your fractions should be 9/63 and 28/63 then now your next step is to add the 9 and 28 which is now 37/63 and you ask yourself and you divide that by any number to get a smaller number which is no so that is your answer
