1/2(2x - 1) = -1/5 -3/5 find x

x = -3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(2x - 1) = -1/5 -3/5

Combine like terms

1/2(2x - 1) = -4/5

Multiply each side by 2

2* 1/2(2x - 1) = -4/5*2

2x-1 = -8/5

Add 1 to each side

2x-1+1 = -8/5 +1

2x = -8/5+5/5

2x = -3/5

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -3/5 * 1/2

x = -3/10

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
