Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First I just made -2/5 into a decimal because I like to work with decimals better (which equals -.4)

Then I times everything separately in the parenthesis and got -8x+6

Next you move the 6 over to the left side of the equals sign which would make the equation be -6 = -8x

Lastly you divide the -8 from -6 and you get X = 3/4
