Explanation:

Change all the fractions to decimals.

-2/5 = -0.4 Distribute that over x and 0.8 1/50 = 0.02

you get -0.4x -0.32 + 0.02

Change all the decimals to fractions.

0.8 is 8/10 so -2/5 times 8/10 is -16/50

-2x/5 - 16/50 + 1/50 add or subtract the fractions to get -15/50 Then reduce (÷5)

-2x/5 - 3/10
