The question gives us the equation
(1)/(5)(2x-10)+4x=-3((1)/(5)x+4)

and are told to solve for the variable

. To do this, we need to simplify the equation by using the distributive property. This gives us
(2)/(5)x-2+4x=-(3)/(5)-12

. Now, we combine like terms. When we do this, we get
(22)/(5)x-2=-(3)/(5)x-12

. Next, we add 12 to both sides. This gives us
(22)/(5)x+10=-(3)/(5)x

. Then, we subtract \frac{22}{5} from both sides and simplify. This gives us
10=-5x

. Now, we divide both sides by

to get x = -2. Therefore, the answer to this problem is
$\boxed{x=-2}$ . Hope this helped!
