Solve -2/5=x*4/-5

$$- \frac { 2 } { 5 } = \frac { x \cdot 4 } { - 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by -5.

$$-\frac{2}{5}\left(-5\right)=x\times 4$$

Express -\frac{2}{5}\left(-5\right) as a single fraction.

$$\frac{-2\left(-5\right)}{5}=x\times 4$$

Multiply -2 and -5 to get 10.

$$\frac{10}{5}=x\times 4$$

Divide 10 by 5 to get 2.

$$2=x\times 4$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x\times 4=2$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x=\frac{2}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
