Answer:

x=-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{2}{5} (5x-3)+\frac{3}{5} =4x-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 5:

2(5x-3)+3=20x-1

Distribute:

10x-6+3=20x-1

Simplify Like-Terms:

10x-3=20x-1

Add 3 to both sides:

10x=20x+2

Subtract 10x from both sides:

0=10x+2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

10x=-2

Divide by 10:

x=-2/10

or

x=-1/5
