Answer 1

@lacrosseplayer22

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

thxs for typeing the equation

Answer 4

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5x-2 }\] ? or \[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }(x-2)\]

Answer 5

kio was right

Answer 6

Multiple both sides by 5/2 then continue to simplify.

Answer 7

So you will have\[x-2 = \frac{ 20x }{ 2 }\]

Answer 8

ok i kinda get it

Answer 9

2/5(x-2)=4x
2/5x-10=4x
2(5x-10)/5x-10=4x(5x-10)=
2=20x^2-40x
20x^2-40x-2=0
then you factor that

Answer 10

never mind you can do the quadratic formula don't factor cause I don't think its possible

Answer 11

lol i was likw wut?

Answer 12

x-2 = 10x => -9x = 2 => x = -2/9

Answer 13

so c?

Answer 14

@lacrosseplayer22 You should have it as 2/5x - 4/5 = 4x when you distribute.

Answer 15

@whereismymind49 wouldnt it be positive because both 9 and 2 and negative

Answer 16

No when you add over the two

Answer 17

nevermind didnt see the 20/x was looking at -9
