3/4 x-2 =2/5

Multiply both sides of the equation by 20

20(3/4 x-2)=20x 2/5

Distribute 20  through the parentheses

20x 3/4 x-20 x2=20 x2/5

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 5

20 x 3/4 x -20 x2=4x2

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 4

5x 3x-20x2=4x2

Multiply the numbers

5x3x-40=4x2

multiply the numbers

5x3x-40=8

Calculate the product

15x-40=8

Answer: 16/5
