Solve the equation 2 over 5 (x − 2) = 4x for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2/5 (x-2)=4x?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. First, you'll want to divide both sides of the equation by 2/5 This gives us \[x-2=10x\] If you then subtract x from the left side, the equation becomes: \[-2=9x\] Divide by 9 to get x. \[x=-2/9\]
