Answer:-10/13

Explanation:

3x+4 = (2/5)x + 2

First move the 4 to the other side by subtracting it.

it becomes : 3x = (2/5)x - 2

then multiply everything by 5 to get rid of the fraction.

it becomes 15x = 2x -10

then move the 2x to the other side by subtracting it.

you get 13x = -10

now you can divide everything by 13 to isolate the x.

and you get x = -10/13
