Answer: 1/10

Answer step by step:

1) 3x - 4/5 = - 1/2

2) 3x = -1/2 + 4/5 (move -4/5 to the right side of the equation and inverse the negative sign)

3) 3x = 0.3 (add the values)

4) 3x / 3 = 0.3 / 3 (divide both side with 3 to get rid of the constant value)

5) x = 0.1

6) x = 1/10 (the 1 in 0.1 is in the tenth place so we convert it to 1/10)
