    Hmm, seems like they tried to get sneaky with the variable placement.

    The first thing you need to to is distribute 2/5 through the parenthesis. This gives you the equation:

    2/5x-4/5=4x

    Now, get x on one side of the equation:

    -4/5=3 3/5x (note the mixed number)

    x=-2/9 (negative because we're dividing a positive and negative number)
