Answer and Step-by-step explanation:


Hello!


Let's~answer~your~question!


We ~know~ either~4x+(2)/(5)=2~or~4x+(2)/(5)=-2

→ Possibility 1 :


4x+(2)/(5)-(2)/(5) =2-(2)/(5)~~~~~(Subtract~ (2)/(5) ~from~ both ~sides)


4x=(8)/(5)


(4x)/(4)=((8)/(5) )/(4) ~~~~~(Divide~ both~ sides~ by~ 4)


x=(2)/(5)

→ Possibility 2 :


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


4x+(2)/(5)-(2)/(5)=-2 -(2)/(5)~~~~~(Subtract~(2)/(5) ~from~ both ~sides)


4x=(-12)/(5)


(4x)/(4) =((-12)/(5) )/(4)
(Divide~both~sides~by~4)


x=(-3)/(5)

Answer :


x=(2)/(5) ~or~(-3)/(5)
