Answer:


(21)/(10)

Explanation:

x -
(8)/(5) =
(2)/(4)

x=
(2)/(4) +
(8)/(5)

Now pay attention.

First, multiply the bottom 2 numbers (4 x 5), that goes on bottom of fraction :
\frac{}{20}

Then cross multiply : (4x8) and (2x5) and add them. Put it on top of fraction:


(32 + 10)/(20)


(42)/(20)

Then reduce fraction:


(21)/(10)

I call it the butterfly effect.
