1/2x + 1/5 = 2/3x - 1/4
=> 1/2x - 2/3x = -1/4 - 1/5
=> -1/6x = -9/20
=> x = -9/20 : (-1/6)
=> x = 27/10
\(\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}x=-\frac{9}{20}+\frac{2x}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}x=-\frac{9}{20}+\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{2x}{3}\)
\(-\frac{x}{6}=-\frac{9}{20}\)
\(6\left(-\frac{x}{6}\right)=6\left(-\frac{9}{20}\right)\)
\(-x=-\frac{27}{10}\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-\frac{27}{10}\)
