Answer: 10x - 1

==============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of x is 1/x, and vice versa. This is true as long as x is not 0.

The multiplicative inverse of 1/5 is 5. These two values multiply to 1. This is true of any multiplicative inverse pairing.

----------

What we need to do is multiply 5 with (2x-1/5)

Use the distributive property to get the following

5*(2x-1/5)

5*(2x) - 5*(1/5)

10x - 5/5

10x - 1

I multiplied the outer 5 by each term inside (the 2x and 1/5) and simplified.
