Solve 5/2x+2/5=0

$$\frac { 5 } { 2 } x + \frac { 2 } { 5 } = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{4}{25}=-0.16$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{2}{5} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$\frac{5}{2}x=-\frac{2}{5}$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{5}, the reciprocal of \frac{5}{2}.

$$x=-\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{2}{5}$$

Multiply -\frac{2}{5} times \frac{2}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$x=\frac{-2\times 2}{5\times 5}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-2\times 2}{5\times 5}.

$$x=\frac{-4}{25}$$

Fraction \frac{-4}{25} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{25} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{4}{25}$$
