Step 1

Multiply all terms in the equation by 2, the lowest common multiple of the denominator of all the terms


2((5)/(2)x)\text{ + 2(5)= 2(}(1)/(2))+2((1)/(2)x)
5x+10=1+x

Step 2

Simplify the equation gotten in step 1 by bringing like terms together


\begin{gathered} 5x-x=1-10 \\ \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 4x=-9 \\ x=-(9)/(4) \\ x=\text{ -2.25} \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is option A.
