Hint: 

$\large\frac{x}{2} + \frac{4x}{5} = \frac{2}{1}$

hero · Answer

Multiply the third fraction by 2/2:

$\large\frac{x}{2} + \frac{4x}{5} = \frac{4}{2}$

hero · Answer

Subract x/2 from both sides to get:

$\large\frac{4x}{5} = \frac{4-x}{2}$

hero · Answer

Cross Multiply to get

2(4x) = 5(4-x)

hero · Answer

Now continue solving for x

hero · Answer
