Answer:

x = - [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] (x - 2) = 4x

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

2(x - 2) = 20x ( divide both sides by 2 )

x - 2 = 10x ( subtract x from both sides )

- 2 = 9x ( divide both sides by 9 )

- [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] = x
